These seemingly random crashes occur with varying frequency and intensity.
These seemingly random crashes occur with varying frequency and intensity.
I'm new here, so I've listed my current setup and what I've tried to avoid these problems. I'm hoping it's something extremely basic that I missed.
Specs:
- Ryzen 5800x
- RTX 3070ti
- 32GB 3600MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM
- MSI X570s Tomahawk motherboard
- Samsung 970 500GB NVMe SSD
- 4TB Barracuda drive
- 1000W GQ EVGA power supply
Issue:
Occasionally, when entering new areas or just playing games as expected, the game crashes me to my desktop. Sometimes it reboots the system completely, and other times it causes a black screen until I press the power button. This happens in every game, with different reasons each time: some say it's due to a DLL access violation, others mention NVIDIA drivers, and some claim it's a corrupted game file that needs reinstalling. Even after reinstalling, the problem recurs. However, when not playing games, my system never crashes.
Attempted fixes:
- Changed OS entirely; stability improved slightly on Linux but crashes continued.
- Switched to Windows 10; minor improvement in game stability, still frequent crashes.
- Updated DDU driver and reinstalled; no driver-related issues found.
- Reset BIOS settings, adjusted PBO XMP and temp limits.
- Stress tested with Furmark and Heaven; Cinebench worked well, temperatures stayed under 80°C, and all motherboards reported normal readings.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Do you mind sharing at least the name of the game(s)? I may have overlooked it but didn't see it anywhere.
