I have not done any overclocking on anything

 

Could finally play star citizen on this new good computer but that crashes on loading into the game, 2 star citizen focused discords cant help me and i've searched for a week how to fix it, i have given up on that game. DCS also had big troubles running and it crashed all the time almost in VR. Now I installed gta 5 because any computer can run it but it just crashes after 10 minutes to desktop, my computer does not ever crash only the games, and after a crash i have to task manager close discord because it messes up. I literally dont know what to do know and it would be sad to waste 1800$ on a not functioning computer. please help thanks (i have gta 5 running on high priority but that does not change anything) i need help with why star citizen and gta 5 crashes.

Temps?

If the system is quite new, a full windows reinstallation couldn't hurt

You will in the software which is on the usb.

 

Most Windows keys are tied to hardware, but I can't say for sure with a gray market key.

Sometimes windows goofs, sometimes it's drivers. It's how it is sometimes. Thats why computer repair companies and these forums exist

Do you have a PC gaming friend to swap parts out with for testing?

 

What are the nature of the crashes? Crash to desktop? Or does it require a reboot?

Crashing to desktop makes me think it's more likely software than hardware related. 

 

Search for event viewer in Windows, and under windows logs look for any errors. I'd also uninstall, reboot, then reinstall your graphics drivers.
