In need of some help please. 

 

I have recently upgraded to a new motherboard, ram and CPU. Ever since my games will randomly crash on me. They either just freeze and go in to not responding. Or will just crash straight to desktop. Sometimes I can play for hours fine. Other times it'll crash every 10mins. I have tried updating my bios, Made sure all my drivers are up to date, formatting my boot drive and fresh install of windows

I swapped out my ram for my older hyperx fury 4x4 2133, disabling overclock. It's still happening. Doesn't seem to matter what game it is either. Have experienced it on red dead 2, rainbow 6 siege, 7 days to die, aimlab, apex legends. 

 

I'm not sure what to do now. Please help! 

 

Specs:

Cpu: 9600k

Mobo: Asus prime z390-p, BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 2606, 24/10/2019

Gpu: galax 1070ti 

Ram: Corsair vengeance 3000mhz 2x8

Psu: corsair RM750

Cooler: Id cooling frostflow 240

Lots of things could do that. A working computer is a complicated chain of events and can be broken in many places.  More data is needed. 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Can you please elaborate? 

While it's true more data would help,  you gave specs and error description  that's not a bad start, but it's always difficult to diagnose these things without being actually at the computer in person, so more data is always helpful. 

 

Did you look in event viewer?  There should be at least some errors around the time of crashing,  what do they say? 

 

The other thing I can think of is did you install Windows completely fresh after replacing mobo / cpu? 

The direction tells you... the direction
