My computer does something SIMILAR but it's due to my overclocks being unstable or if my GPU boosts too high.

Check your temps and don't use any beta driver, just in case.

Temps are stable under 45c

Check your CPU and GPU connections to your mobo, thats what I have found it does if things aren't correctly in.

[Nick993]

Could be gpu driver, overheating, psu problem. Maybe check the event log in windows?

There is no overheating (<45c ingame), i uninstalled all my drivers and installed them again, same problem.I'm thinking about my hardware being new and thus making old games make my pc struggle.Is that even possible?

Had a quite similar thing, make sure your pc is plugged straight to power outlet not to a power strip.

Run on one ram and test each of them.

doesn't resolve the problem

Happens on both of them, but tests say my ram is ok..

Did you try running on single ram and see if it crashes?
