Stuff crashes

[yaboi824]

Ok so I play a few games and I have Solidworks, with KSP it has crashed about 1-3 times in 1-2 hours and I tried accessing Geforce experience and it said that I had to restart my PC so I did and the problem continued Solidworks has yet to crash, but I don't know what the problem is. Could it be my GPU? Btw it's a GTX 660, and I have the latest driver from Nvidia.

Need the rest of the specs of your system, but test your RAM with MemTest86+, and report back

This is what you use

https://www.memtest.org/

Installs to a USB stick, and boots from said USB stick.

 

It's an industry standard testing tool. If your RAM is bad, it will find out.

Might take several hours tho.

 

Also, turn off XMP and any overclocking.

We start with the basics, and move on to the next part.
