Having Trouble With Certain Steam Games

Chazz182 · July 19, 2019

Recently I have had trouble running certain steam games. Everything worked fine up until a few weeks ago's. Now certain games either crash, have no sounds or just don't work probably.

Games like Lego Marvel 2 just freezes on the first screen and don't work. Surviving Mars doesn't have any sound and it seems to be really unstable and will crash if I load a game or anything. Some games seem to work fine.

I did completely uninstall the old graphics drivers (in safe mode) and install the most current ones. The only thing I noticed was after I install the new drivers the screen turned green until I restarted the computer.

I tried using my onboard graphics and Surviving Mars seemed to run fine. The Lego sort of seemed to work but I had to change my game resolution to match my native or it would freeze again.

Would there maybe be an issues with graphics card? I'm currently using a Radeon RX 480. Again when I switch from my onboard video to my graphics card, the screen turned green until I restarted the computer.

Thanks for all your help, this has been really frustrating.

When you uninstalled the drivers in safemode did you use DDU or just manually uninstall them?

I used DDU. I have run a windows reset.

Everything seems fine with my internal graphics (other then everything runs poorly). I noticed I keep getting a Watman over clocking error as well (even though I'm not overclocking, I don't think I even have it installed).

It my graphic card was dying it seems to me I would have more visual problems. But I removed and reinstall all my graphics drivers and it hasn't changed. Could it really be a physical problem with the card?
