Potential Issue with GPU

[Soundcrank Audio]

Hello all.

I apologise if this is in the wrong forum space, I'm not exactly sure what's causing my issue, but I feel it's likely a GPU one as it's related to gaming.
No matter what game I play, the game randomly just... force closes without warning. 
I never get bugs or error messages, it just terminates. The range of games go from Path of Exile which gets intense to run, to light games like League where this occurs. Only very light games cause no issues at all (old re-releases of PS1 titles etc).

I'm currently running:
AMD 3900X
Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super
64 Gigs G.Skill Trident Neo Ram
Windows 10 64 bit.

I regularly make sure drivers are upto date, no current updates are being found that I can think would cause this, PC is relatively new (under 1 year old). When running Afterburner, the GPU never gets above 45 degrees in any game I run.

Any ideas on what could be causing this and how I'd go about fixing it?

Could try reinstalling windows?

If it was a GPU issue then you would get an error message or your entire OS would be having the problem not just the game.

I do have a recurring Blue Screen issue also which I've never considered is related to this issue, where I get random blue screens, very rarely the same ones. They seem to happen at any time, no matter what I am doing, however. A game crash to desktop has never cause a blue screen.
Games can run stable for hours and hours at a time, then just terminate out of the blue. Other games, it's far more frequent.

That sounds like a RAM problem to me. Would you happen to remember if any of the blue screens have had the memory_management error code? Have you tried running the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool (or MemTest86)? If not, I would try doing that.

Sounds like you're due for a clean install...

I have prepared you a dump if you would like.

Simply put, the list of blue screens is tremendous and there's no way I could list them all without missing some.

This may sound stupid of me but I've never actually had to open a dump file before so I have absolutely no clue how to. Maybe with more expertise than me could tell you if those point to any specific issues, but I can't...

 

The Windows Memory Diagnostic tool is always a good thing to try when you're getting blue screens like this, especially if they happen randomly and are different every time. If you do run it and get any errors, there are several things you can do from there to try and diagnose the issue, so just let me know how it goes if you run it.

 

When I first build my PC I was having constant blue screens and random game crashes like you described. I checked all my drivers and reinstalled Windows several times, but nothing would fix it. It turned out it was a RAM issue the whole time and it was super easy to fix, so it couldn't hurt for you to check that as well.

I appreciate the tips, I'll give it a try
I wouldn't be surprised if it is ram, it was a nightmare getting it to run at it's rated speeds as is
