Game Crash Help

[dualbootubuntuknoppix]

Hey, I've been having a huge crashing issues with my games. Every time I try to play a game the video freezes yet I can still hear people's microphones or in-game audio, until I either restart my pc or it crashes.

No idea what is causing this but it's a huge pain and I've tried finding fixes but no luck. Also, on Fortnite it has it's own special crash where it says: Unreal Engine is exiting due to D3D device being lost.0x887A0006

So far I have tried:

-Updating Windows and Graphics Drivers, as well as using DDU to clean drivers

-TdrDelay setting to 10

-Buying a new GPU

-GPU-Z didn't know abnormalities

-Other things I don't remember

 

I've been crashing like this for a long time and I think it made me throw away a perfectly good GTX 1070 (RIP), cause it cant possibly be a GPU issue, same with my motherboard, I've switched them out because the other one had an issue with RAM slots. My RAM also fully works.

 

Specs if it helps:

Mobo: ASUS ROG Strix B350-F

CPU: Ryzen R7 1700

GPU: Zotac GTX 1060

PSU: Corsair RM850X

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000MHz

Are you overclocking gpu or cpu?

Have you done a bios update?

Have you done a chipset driver update?

Have you checked the event viewer?

Have you ran dxdiag?

What are your temps?

GPU and CPU are not being overclocked. I have done the BIOS and Chipset updates, unsure of how to check event viewer for errors, I've ran dxdiag and my temps are good (30C idle GPU and 30C CPU) On games usually high 50C.
