System crashing when gaming.

Bliss001 · November 18, 2021

Problem: My system has been crashing more and more when I'm gaming and I can't seem to solve why. I built my computer about a year ago. I had some issues with the motherboard off the bat but I resolved them after tinkering with it for about a month. However A few months ago certain games were crashing my system. Destiny 2 and Apex Legends specifically. I turned the graphics settings down and dropped the resolution down to from 1440 to 1080 and it seemed to solve the problems. I could play other intense games such as Control and Borderlands 3 without crashing. However I recently started playing Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite and now I get constant crashes. If I'm lucky I get 3 matches in Halo, as for Forza I maybe join 1/4 races before my system crashes. It is also the Full system that crashes and restarts not just the game ends. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What I have Tried:

Updated motherboard to the latest Bios

Updated my Graphics card drivers, even installed a Halo infinite specific patch.

Reseated Ram and GPU.

Checked power cables to make sure everything was connected properly.

Ran a Norton Virus check, found No malware.

Ran a Cinebench stress test and a GPU stress test, neither CPU or GPU ever cracked 70c, and no restart during the test

No overclocks are running other than the factory one on the GPU.

Reverted Ram back to 2666 from 3600

Specs

CPU: AMD 5900X

GPU: AMD 6900XT ASUS TUF factory overclocked
