Unreal Engine Games Crashing

[FaTaLMercenery]

I recently upgraded my pc (100% new except PSU and storage, specs at the bottom). It's not a fresh install of Windows 10, but I did run DDU on my old computer to remove all the drivers before moving the storage to my new computer. Since then, every time I try to play games made with Unreal Engine they crash after anywhere from 2 minutes to an hour. My list of games that I've played since upgrading isn't extensive: Satisfactory, Fortnite, and Oxygen Not Included(ONI). The first two are made in Unreal Engine 4 and 5 respectively while ONI is a Unity game.

 

Fortnite crashed twice(I only attempted to play twice) and Satisfactory, as of writing this, has crashed six times. I played ONI for about 3 hours on a few occasions and there were no issues. Every time I get a crash report it starts with the following: "Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0xffffffffffffffff". The memory address seems to always be different, that's just the most recent one I have received.

 

My GPU driver version is 512.95 - Released 5/24/2022
I built the computer around 5/14/2022

 

Specs:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
MBD - ASRock B550 Taichi (Razer Edition)
RAM - Corsair Vengeance DDR4 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz C16
GPU - EVGA FTW 3080 LHR
PSU - Corsair RM850x

 

I'd like to resolve this issue since the games that are crashing are the main games I want to play.

 

Update:

I ran the memory diagnostics tool and it says 'detected no errors'. I also ran 'sfc /scannow' in command prompt and it came back with "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." although occasionally when I have issues with my computer and run this, is does find issues and "fixes" them.

was it a fresh install of Windows?  If not, a reinstall might fix it.  Could also be a memory error.  Run the windows memory diag tool at next boot.  if that shows nothing run memtest x86 (you'll need a small pen drive for that one but both are free)

It's not a fresh install of windows, but I did run DDU on my old computer to remove all the drivers before moving the storage to my new computer. I would like to avoid having to do a fresh install, but I will if it's necessary.

Add all this to OP.

get and run memtest 86 for 4 passes.  if that finds no errors it might just be time for a fresh install

After some more looking around online, I found other people with similar problems and a whole thread of people saying the recent Nvidia drivers are just complete trash. I reverted back to driver 472.12 and now stability seems to be just fine in all the games I have played. Needless to say, I will be staying at that version for a while.

 

Gonna put this here in case anyone else has a similar issue and maybe this can help them as well.
