Struggling to resolve crashes during gameplay (Microsoft didn’t assist)
Struggling to resolve crashes during gameplay (Microsoft didn’t assist)
I recently switched my PC from Intel to AMD with a DDR5 motherboard and RAM. Playing games works fine until about 10 to 5 minutes of gameplay where it crashes and restarts to the desktop without any warning. I’ve collected crash logs from my system:

My specs are still under review—please let me know if you need more details. I’m grateful for your help and will always appreciate it. P.S., all drivers are current and Windows was just installed. My GPU is a 2060 6GB NVIDIA card.
Have you reset your storage and restored Windows? That’s the initial step.
Turn off EXPO for the RAM. Which RAM kits are installed? Provide the precise model number.
G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB dual 2 sticks, DDR5-6000, PCIe 5.0, CL36, 48000 CLC/sec
You can disable Expo by closing the associated application or uninstalling it from your device.
