Hi, my games have been crashing lately and I wasn't sure what was causing it. I searched online and people suggested checking the temperatures, so I installed MSI Afterburner and looked at it. However, when I watched it while playing, the voltage limit hit its maximum, the game would crash and then restart. It's tough to explain, but I have a screenshot.

The voltage limit simply means you're pushing the core's potential to its maximum. It's acceptable.
GPUs are built to handle utilization, voltage, thermal, and power constraints; they'll just clock the card slightly lower or stop the clock increase, without crashing the system.
If you're experiencing crashes in games, it could be related to a driver issue.

Oh okay, thank you.
I was just worried as my games have been crashing a lot recently. I only had 8 Gb of Ram so i installed another 2x4gb to make 16gb. I started to mess with overclocking but then i tried to change it back to default but im not sure if its all okay as i dont think i should be crashing. Sometimes i can play for like 2 hours an then it crashes and i have to load up the game 5-6 times before i can properly play again.
