crash Games Crash after time

[IAmAFrenchFry]

I play my games (as one gamer does), and after some time, they will just either crash, or more likely freeze and I need to task manager them. It seems to take longer for it to happen in fullscreen than borderless windowed. Then weird thing is, it stopped happening in Minecraft and Among Us (obviously I haven’t tested every game), but it still happens in other places, such as Project Winter. I have reinstalled graphics drivers (I have the latest NVIDIA ones), updated Windows to the latest release, and done the old turn-off-and-on trick. I have also tried, according to a post, to turn off Xbox Game Bar and set monitor (which is a VG27AQ 1440p display) scaling to 100%. Still no success.

 

None of my friends are having the issue (so it's almost certainly not a Steam thing).

 

I don't know if this will help, but I have attached a DXDiag log.

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: This has recently started happening. It has not been like this since my computer was built.

Update: Tried Project Winter in windowed mode and it frozed and crashed.  It didn't seem to be a temperature issue as I checked my temps immediately after it crashed, and they seemed normal.

Additionally, it's probably helpful to know that I have a 3800X, Gigabyte 2070 Super, and 16GB DDR4 3600 CL16 RAM

Turn off xmp and try to game again

I’m currently using a manual ram oc. However xmp might still be enabled as a part of that with modified timings. If it is a stability error, I could run memtest86. What do you think?

You could do memtest, but you could also just save your OC as a bios preset (so you can go back to it later if it's not the issue) and then reset your ram settings to default w/o XMP. If you do that and you get the same crashes, it probably wasn't your RAM OC.

For some reason I decided to take the long route and use MemTest. Came back with no errors, so I don't know if that's a bad thing or not because we don't know the issue.

 

Here is the HTML if it helpsMemTest86-Report-20201231-150451.html .

 

Thanks!

Hmm. Do you have CPU or GPU overclocks?

[IAmAFrenchFry]

GPU but not CPU. However, I ran the Time Spy Stress Test (which is fullscreen and didn’t crash for some reason, but I sware more than one game crashes) and got a score of like 99% which is a good pass.

Then try without GPU overclock. Seems like this is the issue then...

[Convictions]

Yeah. A stress test passing doesn't always mean that your oc is stable in every workload. It may be that real world games tax your gpu in different ways than 3dmark. I'd try turning off the OC, and, if that fixes the issue, slowly dialing the oc back. I'd start by dialing back any vram OC.

My games seem to be fine now. Hopefully that's fully true. Thx for the help!
