Guys with blue belts also think that they are amazing and are happy to teach others all the errors that they failed to notice as you know they are not the masters of the art yet and then some black belts later will gonna strugle to iron out all the wrong habits that they were doing for soo long... Not to mention that damage in the dojo is often unfixable, you can ofc find martial arts masters that know where to put the presure to block some vein and reverse swelling but that are top tier guys that you will not gonna met in normal dojo.

Always start with testing PSU and memory if you see random crashes. Unfortutely, for both of those, the easiest test is to replace it with a known good part which is option not available to end users. You could also try reducing clocks on the GPU, CPU or memory to check if that makes it stable. That would help you to pinpoint which hardware is causing the troubles because if the system is stable once you underclock the memory, you know the crash is memory related. If the crash goes away with GPU underclock, you know that the GPU is not stable on default clocks and the GPU is broken.

[@brianvazquez4911]

Could u help me with the memory part I keep having trouble running any game like warzone or Fortnite my game keeps freezing or crashing

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@brianvazquez4911 If you think your RAM might be bad, try running Prime95 and its "torture" test mode. Run it with custom settings and configure it to use all the RAM in the system and let it run for 24 hours (if I remember corrrectly, the default "torture" test is configured to maximize CPU load so it's configured to fit in L1+L2. It's good for verifying CPU stability and its cooling but not RAM.) If it cannot find anything, your RAM is probably fine and the problem is somewhere else. If the system keeps crashing while playing a game, I would consider PSU and GPU to be next suscpects. Note that some GPU manufacturers lie a LOT about the actual transient power needs of your GPU. Unfornately, the only way to measure if your PSU is up to the task is to attach an oscilloscope to your PSU DC cables and log the voltages at megasamples per second rate before the system crashes. If you're not intending to do this regularly, it's cheaper to purchase or loan a known good PSU and try if it fixes the issue instead.

I know this is late but I have had my Pc for 2 years and it has been fine but few months ago it started crashing ONLY when playing games. The PC freezes and shuts off but the lights stay on.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@Josh-df1oj What do you mean "shuts off" if you have unplug it to power it off? With the partial information you provided, I'd guess either RAM or CPU having a bit too high clock or low voltage for the connectors you have. As connectors move ever so slightly over time because of thermal expansion, it might be that the system was stable by lucky accident this far. My old desktop got unstable when it got older and the fix to make it perfectly stable was to disable automatic CPU voltage scaling in BIOS and set voltage to static 1.1 V all the time. The only con side I've been able to see is that CPU idles a few degress C higher because the motherboard no longer can drop the voltage but that's a sacrifice I'm happy to make to avoid random system freezes.

I have the exact same issue with rdr2 and gtaV, but these games will crash in exactly 12 minutes. I did time it twice to make sure and it stopped at 11:59, now I did have it to bestbuy many times but they haven't actual tried to fix anything inside the tower. Odd thing is, when I stream rdr2 or gtaV to my friends on discord it doesn't crash to my desktop until about a few hours in. It is extremely odd because streaming is harder on the computer.

Incredibly frustrating and in my opinion is a perfect example of why shareware/demos are extremely important. If anything work should be done so dev teams can get a 1 level demo out in the field to see what people actually end up with so they can get some true real world testing done by actual customer systems. It's literally free advertising and free beta testing to fix a massive amount of problems vs running into issues with a day 1 release.

@10:20, theres a way to make Superposition(DX12 benchmark) be a "looped stress test" without actually paying for the premium version. If you go into Game Mode and adjust the Time, lighting, and gravity knobs so that things are floating a moving around constantly it actually will stress the system pretty well, but you can also just put the Game mode into cinematic mode and it will run the benchmark scenes on a loop.

Jay - I'd love to see you investigate Windows 10's "Fast Startup" power setting. From what we can tell at work, it's a weird form of hibernate rather than a solid shutdown. When disabled, all behaves fine. The performance hit between it being on or off, with the recent W10 updates to "speed up HDD operation" since 20H2 would be quite interesting.

[@PhilErringtonSK7]

We saw similar behaviour on a brand new AMD system which had a completely different cause. The system had been set up without using a XMP profiles for memory speed. It is assumed that a motherboard will run "safe" memory speeds (ours were 2133) but we saw crashes when the XMP was OFF and running perfectly using a XMP profile from the Patriot memory we had. We detected and tested this a few times with heaven. So have a look at memory timings as that can crash graphics apps without crashing windows.

[@raiid1540]

yeah my FiveM keeps crashing because of my memory but i have no clue how to clear my memory or to make it not crash

2024 and my card has just started doing this in the past few weeks. Some days I can get a couple hours game time before a crash, others I get about 5/10 mins until a crash. GeForce RTX 3060.

Guess I better get saving up for a new card!

[@Aepek]

Had a laptop that kept “crashing”, w/ black screen, respirings, reboot into safe mode.....huh, than boot into windows recovery. Than would boot 3 seconds later /ack into windows and work just fine. Go figure, but finally figured out issue. Was the RAM! Even though Ram was on QVL list, installed correct, nothing wrong with it, for some reason....was just unstable in the system. Yes, did upgrade while ago, and ended up replacing fans, SSD, WIFI/BLUETOOTH, drivers, updates, etc... Than, only thing left, replace ram. Guess it’s true, that G.Skill doesn’t always work on an AMD system, even when on QVL.... Sometimes, just doesn’t work, for some reason, and needs replaced. Ram is fine, as in another system....Intel, and runs perfect. Jay, enjoy these “find & fix! Vids.....wouldn’t mind seeing some more🙏🏼 Happy Xmas🎄

I fixed the GeForce driver crashing at "heavy loads" by replacing my DisplayPort cable (the original one that came with the monitor). And if a faulty cable can cause that, then a faulty cable port on the GPU can cause it as well. Which means that it's possible that nothing has really "degraded".

You could have undervolted it and tried it again. Starfield was doing the same thing on mine. I created a powershell script that monitors my temps in turn would lower my voltages while in game. It fixed my issue on the crashing. I also did the same thing on my CPU as well. So anyways, that way while you are in game with any game for that matter, it will monitor and undervolt your card and your cpu while you are in game. I have two scripts. One for cpu and one for my graphics card and they just run in the background.I use task scheduler to to inject them on system startup.
