PC randomly crash/freeze while playing games.

soluuloi · September 16, 2020

I have a 2060 super, 16gb ram, window 10. I recently updated to the newest driver using DDU in safe mode then install the driver in normal mode. I randomly got crashed or freeze while playing video games such as Mass Effect Andromeda, Outer World, Monster Hunter World. Most of the times, it stuttered a bit then freeze, then either stay freeze or crash to desktop, in which the desktop flickering for a moment before returning to normal. Sometimes, I heard a sound in the headphone right before the crash, it's as if an usb is connected to the pc, you know that sound right? Once I got a message like this: https://imgur.com/a/SDUjcHl

I just bought the pc for 6 months. I dont overclocked my gpu. I dont remember what was the driver version I used to have before updating. The tempurature of the pc is very normal. I dont have any trouble when I am not playing games. Other than Monster Hunter World, I have never played Mass Effect or Outer World before all of this happened. I only know that MHW kept crashing after updating to the new driver. This is the CPUID file if you are interested: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pVTlneM7ddiNHW5VE164VT5c8_MxoUb-KoccDjawj2I/edit?usp=sharing

Help please, it's driving me crazy. I have tried installing different version of the driver, adding the TrdLevel file to regedit, remove antivirus, none of them works. Linus, please send tech tips!
