Games wont launch

[mhl]

So I noticed about a week ago while running through Far Cry 5 the game would randomly just crash on me. Didn't think much of it because it only happened twice in my 30 hours of game play through the story. After beating it the game just kept crashing over and over. Couldn't play more than a few minutes. Figured it was an issue with that game. Now the last few days I can't play any of my games without them just crashing on me.  Got a random BSOD the other day and it was a memory management issue. Ran the test and it came back with no issues. Tried to play cod today and I only got in a few matches before it just froze up on me.  Anyone have any idea what the issue is or how I can figure it out? 

My specs are

I5 9600k

nvidia 2070 super

15 gb ram 

250 gb ssd for the os and other small things

2tb hdd where i keep my games.

Try installing one of your games on SSD and check if it crashes too. If no you have bad drive on you if yes try removing one stick of RAM and if the problem persists try the second one.

Which test?

[mhl]

The windows memory diagnostic test. Said there were no issues. Ran one on the drive too to check for errors and nothing there either.

That test is worthless.

Use Memtest86+ to be certain.

Also, use the manufacturer's hard drive tools to be certain your drive is okay

Ran the mem test and it didn't come back with any issues and i'm running the company provided test now. We will see how that goes. Hopefully it's just the drive. That'll be an easy fix

Odd both came back with no issues.  I guess ill run the deeper scan later tonight. Said it'd take about 5 hours. Maybe that'll give me a result of some sort

No errors on either ram or hdd but it crashed again this morning.

ok, so the drive is good, and the RAM is good, so then we look at other steps.

Are you getting a BSoD, or a spontaneous reboot under load?
