I've been having a hard time lately because my computer keeps crashing when I play games for a while. It's already happened more than once, so I'm really worried and want to know if anyone could help me out. I've tried fixing it many times but nothing has worked yet. Here is the information from Microsoft about this problem: The problem started on October 11th at 1:01 AM today. It says that a Windows system manager stopped working correctly, which caused an error when trying to run certain programs. Specifically, an application named "dwm.exe" (which is related to Windows graphics settings) crashed. This happened because the computer ran into some issues with the memory or hardware while playing games. The problem signature shows that this was a crash of the system's display manager code. There were also some additional errors reported about Autopilot.dll and hardware-related codes, which suggests there might be physical issues with your computer. Based on the details provided, it looks like you have an AMD Ryzen 7 processor (a high-performance CPU) from ASUS, paired with a NVIDIA graphics card called RTX 3080 and a lot of RAM (16GB). The system seems to be running Windows 10 version 22H2 with some extra updates. Despite having all these powerful parts, your computer is still crashing often when games run long enough. This could mean that one of the components isn't working well or needs attention soon so you can continue playing without interruptions.
