My games keep crashing.

Hello
When I am playing video games, 20 minutes in the game my game crashes, with no error message only ones in rocket league it said ran out of video memory.
I also stream on this pc but it also happens when I am not streaming.
My Specs are:
Ryzen 7 2700x (Water cooled)
Gtx 2080 8gb
ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VII HERO
Corsair Vengence RGB Ram 32gb 3200Mhz
700w power supply 
M.2 SSD 2tb
2tb HDD Seagate
Corsair crystal 460x

I also use 2 monitors.

If this is happening on multiple games then I would think it's most likely a hardware or driver issue. Did you overclock GPU? If so, I would suggest resetting it back to default and retrying games to see if it crashes again. Do they crash to desktop? Just freeze? Crash entire PC? Make sure you have latest drivers installed for everything and latest motherboard BIOS too.

 

As for Rocket League running out of video memory... I've never played that game, but in Battlefield V there is a setting to prevent that from happening called "GPU Memory Restriction". Perhaps there is a similar setting in Rocket League. Not sure if there's a global setting in NVIDIA settings to prevent this or not. You can also try running Windows Task Manager, click on performance tab, then click on GPU on the left to show GPU info. Then play a RL game until it crashes. Assuming it crashes to desktop, check out the amount of VRAM that was just being used. That could help verify if Rocket League is indeed crashing due to using more VRAM than available. There are other hardware monitors out there for GPUs, such as GPU-Z... and EVGA Precision X1 and MSI Afterburner overclocking programs have them built in. Not sure how long they log hardware info for though.

 

I was going to suggest trying some GPU benchmarking programs, but the ones I have played around with (3D Mark, Cinebench, Unigine) only run for a short time or you have to buy the upgrade to test for longer periods. Perhaps someone else on here knows of a free one that would work for you to test 20mins+. Not sure if benchmarking the GPU would help, but they would be something to stress it besides the games you've already played.

 

In short...

- update drivers for as much hardware as you can then test games

- reset any overclocks then test games

- if still crashing in games try a benchmark or stress test on GPU to see if it crashes

- last thing that I could think of to try would be reinstalling a game to see if that fixes it. (Hopefully without losing any game progress)

 

Hope something there helps. Best of luck.

Thanks, I will try this.
