The system BSODs and won't launch games / stuck at loading screens?
Hi !
There are some issues lately. Some games won’t start, others crash my PC, and a few get stuck in loading screens...
Escape from Tarkov (Heavy game): Frequently crashes my PC into BSOD, sometimes during play, other times at the end of a raid session.
Hunt: Showdown (Medium load game): Occasionally launches, but often gets stuck at loading EasyAntiCheat and loops indefinitely.
Vampire Survivors (Light game): Sometimes starts, sometimes hangs at the loading menu, or just closes the app without doing anything.
I think the problem might be related to RAM not working properly, though the Vampire Survivors version is particularly confusing.
I just downloaded a FitGirl Repack to try a game and it worked immediately. I scanned my PC with ESET NOD32 Antivirus, updated Windows, checked RAM via Win+R mdsched.exe, refreshed GPU drivers, but nothing resolves the issue.
If all else fails, I’m considering formatting the PC, but I can’t right now because I still have a lot of files and don’t have an external storage device.
Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.
Include PSU: Make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?
History of heavy gaming use - correct?
Look in Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer for error codes, warnings, and even informational events that occur just before or at the time of the BSOD's.
Uninstall "FitGirl".
And to avoid potential data loss you should be able to back up files online via Microsoft OneDrive. Not a solution that most people want to hear but better than losing needed files.
Especially if the files are all photos, music, etc.. Nothing personal regarding finances, etc....
Win 10 Pro (Acquired early 2022)
CPU: Intel Core i5-10600KF
GPU: Gainward GeForce RTX 3060 Ghost 12GB GDDR6
Motherboard: MSI Z490-A PRO
RAM: Ballistix DDR4 2x8 GB 3600MHz CL16
Cooling: Silentium PC Fera 5 120mm
Case: Silentium PC Ventum VT2 TG (Stock cooling)
PSU (previous): Silentium PC Vera 2 Bronze 600W (Used for many years)
Functional until now.
Operated mainly for gaming, around 8 hours daily.
BSOD error codes detected:
0x0000013a (0x0000000000000011, 0xffff870a0ee02100, 0xffff870a228b42d0, 0x0000000000000000)
Already uninstalled, will keep you informed if the issue continues.
Proceeding to work with the necessary files soon so there are no concerns.
Appreciate your time and assistance.
PSU is probably the culprit.
If you own a multimeter and understand its use or have someone with that skill, you can assess the PSU to some degree.

This isn't a complete evaluation since the PSU isn't operating under load. Deviations from expected voltages suggest a defective or failing unit, and a growing frequency of error codes further points to issues.
Didn't have these tools before. Yesterday the issue seemed to ease a little, didn't get a Blue Screen, the game still crashes but it could be due to spaghetti coding, the game is known for that. I'm planning to format my PC because I need it, and if the problem continues I'll change my PSU. Thanks for your help and time!
