Hello everyone! I’m sharing the background of my recent PC build about a year ago. Back then, everything seemed normal except for playing New World. It would run smoothly for 20 to 60 minutes before suddenly stopping. No errors appeared in the Windows event viewer. Recently, the issue has become more frequent, affecting other games like Path of Exile and Rocket League as well. They sometimes work for a few minutes or longer but then shut down without any visible signs. Since I’m not a tech expert, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I invested a lot in this setup, but I’ve lost the ability to play many of my favorite games lately. I tried updating Windows, updating drivers, disabling XMP settings, and using different graphics options, but nothing seems to help. Thank you all for your support!

Are the games stopping or is the system failing? Also, what is your power source?

The power source is a KRUX Generator 850W with 80 Plus Gold rating. It functions properly, but the problem lies with game shutdowns.

PSU looks fairly solid. Have you used the memory settings before? Have you experimented without XMP? Also, did you enable any overclocking or auto-overclock features? Turn them off in the BIOS.

I saw that you can verify if a component was overclocked using CPU-Z. This might assist in troubleshooting your problem.

I discovered a method to turn off XMP. Here’s the updated version:
Current setup now works without it. I’ll check again later, though it may take some time to confirm.

After turning off XMP and increasing fan speeds, the issue appears resolved. Please hold off on closing this thread until I have more time for the stress test. I'll update you soon. Appreciate your suggestion regarding XMP.

After a complete day of testing, it seems XMP was the main concern. Appreciate everyone's assistance! If my assumption is incorrect and the issue returns soon, I'll set up a new topic and include this as a disclaimer.

To achieve full RAM speed, adjust memory frequency, DRAM voltage, and primary timings yourself. In BIOS, use the settings 17-21-21-21-41. Set the DRAM voltage to 1.35V. Keep other parameters at auto. Your screenshots show no OC enabled, which is favorable. The issue likely stems from running multiple sticks—possibly two 2x8GB kits—so timings are tuned for just two sticks. If those settings fail, consider switching to 18-21-21-21-41. Always quote others if you need their input.
