preventing game crashing/helpful tips

random game crashes and wired PC behavior 

this was happening to me on a lot of games and like most PC gamer's I always tweak my graphics card settings to my liking. I found that ANY time I change settings in my graphics properties while under windows OS I need to restart my PC right away. In my experience some other problems this has resolved are brief graphic artifacts/screen black out, and GPU wattage withdrawal, and power supply's being burnt out. the new cool AMD/Nividia overclocking software make's it look so easy to over clock your your PC, and it is as long as you use some precautions, hear are some things i do to keep my PC safe and stable  

 

1: Restart your PC after any software based tweaking under Windows; GPU/CPU/MOTHERBOARD

2; Never adjust settings while your PC is under load (including game graphic settings) try to do these at the main menu 

3: do not shut your PC down after heavy loads allow your PC to idle for a few minutes this will allow your hard ware to cool off( same goes with gaming console's) 

4: keep a back up electric storage device in case you have a power outage or brown out

 

I am pretty sure this info is already out there in some user manual but there often discarded

It's not, because what you're describing isn't really necessary.

CPU/Motherboard settings should be tweaked in UEFI/BIOS anyway. Anything those utilities in the OS can do, you can usually do in UEFI/BIOS

 

Unfortunately I don't really have a choice with the GPU, but I've been tweaking things on the GPU for years without needing to reboot. I'm pretty sure most other people have as well.

I adjust settings while in game anyway because it's the fastest way to see a change. Besides that, some games have a fully rendered main menu screen (Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Division, Half-Life 2, etc.), so you basically have no choice but to change settings while the PC is "under a load."

This is the only tip that I see has practicality, but I also don't really find it to be that much of a concern because well... I'm pretty sure the hardware designers have accounted for this to some degree.

I don’t reboot when OC, but for driver updates, and gpu bios flashes, I reboot.
