Games keep crashing. Please help

[Mih27]

Hi! So I recently upgraded my cpu and motherboard from an i5-6600k to a ryzen 7 2700x and games keep crashing. I have a gtx 960. Is it because amd cpu doesn't work with nvidia gpu?

Also no that's not the reason, any CPU works with any GPU... at least within the range most people would dare to try.

Well I did an aida stability test and gpu usage spikes from 0% to 100% and so on and the screen freezes. Is it a gpu problem?

It could be any number of things.  Driver problem, Windows confused in some way due to the CPU and platform having changed if you didn't reinstall, a problematic BIOS version (there was an issue with ryzen boards recently, I think it's fixed now though), etc.  Hopefully someone can assist.

when you swapped from Intel to AMD, did you re-install windows? If not, this is the likely cause.

Well I reinstalled windows and I also reinstalled the gpu drivers with ddu and updated the bios to the latest version

do you have any type of overclock on your CPU/GPU/RAM?

Right now only on my gpu. I overclocked it using msi afterburner. I had it overclocked before I changed the cpu and it worked perfectly before

Try with it at stock settings and see. Some games will give you a reason for there crash. Do you have any of these known?

I would clear your CMOS on your BIOS and try again.

Yeah it didn't help. I also changed the ram to see if that was the problem but it was not
