Hey everyone, my sister's computer is running into some issues. It has a strong CPU (i9 9900kf), a decent stock GPU (RTX 2080), and a solid PSU (Corsair 650w). RAM is 16GB MOBO, and she’s using MSI z370 gaming plus. The problem seems to be with certain games—Cyberpunk 2077 and Fortnite are crashing, while Team Fortress 2, Apex Legends, and GTA V work fine. The PC itself stays stable during gameplay, but the games just close unexpectedly.

I would begin by removing your GPU drivers completely and then reinstalling them. You mentioned you performed a clean Windows reinstall, but sometimes updates may install drivers for your GPU that can conflict with those you manually added. First, download the Displays Driver Uninstaller tool. Extract its contents, then boot your computer in safe mode. In the utility, pick your GPU from the dropdown menu on the right and select 'Clean' before restarting. This will restart your PC and restore it to normal Windows settings. Next, we should obtain fresh drivers. Visit NVidia’s site, download the appropriate drivers, and reinstall them. This summary was concise; a detailed video covers the full procedure using Display Driver Uninstaller.

I set up the PC, performed a clean install, updated Windows, and added NVIDIA GeForce Experience along with the game drivers. After checking with hwinfo, my RTX 2080 was labeled as a Sapphire RTX 2080, which surprised me since I wasn’t aware Sapphire supported NVIDIA cards. The system runs on a PCpartner board. Should I consider undervolting the GPU?
