New game titles crashing on x299 but not on z370

[Tim613]

So in my main pc i have a 7940x OC'd to 4.6, with 64bg of ram and 1080ti sli and my other pc is a 8700k OC'd to 4.7 with 16bg of ram and a 1080. Titles like devil may cray 5 and metro exodus instantly freeze the x299 system but work fine on my z370. I reloaded windows on my x299 and still face the same problem and i dont know what to do from here. All my other games seem to work fine but its annoying i cant get some of the new titles to work as well. I even tried disabling sli and still the same issue. my x299 has a two monitor set up with a ultra wide and a 27 inch 4k monitor on the side while my x370 using a 4k tv in the living room. Not sure if that has any affect.

Try turning SLI off then running the game.

My bad, have you tried it with the overclock off and are you running the latest windows update?

^^^ Your OC could be unstable, try dropping the speed, upping voltages if you have voltage/thermal headroom, or for the quickest test just save your OC to a profile (most mobos will let you) then load defaults and see if it still crashes.

i reset everything to default in the bios and now the games work. What do you recommend doing from here since it seems that those are the only affected games and not any other ones?
