Games crashing

[akrono]

I'm DESPERATE please...a lot of my games are crashing: cs2, forza horizon 5, Palworld, Naraka Bladepoint

they are just crashing to desktop most of the times, or freezing al my PC, rarely restarting or blue screen

 

i just updated some of my system parts

Ryzen 5 7600x

Asus ROG Strix b650 e-f wi-fi

Corsair Vengeance RGB 2x16GB DDR5 6000mhz C30

 

Thermalright PS120SE ARGB

 

ASUS DUAL NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 OC Edition

m2 nvme Samsung 980 PRO 2TB

the things that are "old" that remained are the case, the PSU: EVGA 600 BQ 600w

1tb nvme ssd Samsung 970 EVO Plus

250gb SSD Samsung 850 EVO

 

i tried:

disabling ram XMP in BIOS

windows 10

fresh windows 11 a couple of times

bios update

nvidia older drivers

my old video card

using just one stick of ram

switching rams between them

and all kind of software "tricks" and "fixes" i saw online

tested rams with memtest

 

nothing works...i just wanna individuate the problem if it's hardware so i can replace the faulty part

most of the problems take me to the rams but they gave no error on memtest...i don't know what to do and where to start

Check the firmware version on this drive.

If you have the firmware version in the article, don't bother trying to save the drive, it's too late now. Just get a new drive and clone the old one or just transfer the files over if you can.

i have the new one :

"It should be noted that 980 Pro SSDs running the 4B2QGXA7 or 5B2QGXA7 firmware are not affected by this issue."

also on Samsung Magician it doesn't show errors...

That rules that out then.

Try reinstalling each game if you have not tried that. I had to reinstall a few games when I did a platform change in the past to get them to work.

This is weird, you pretty much tried a boat load of things. The CPU and Motherboard are left and are the things that were changed before all these problems happened.

also i've noticed that the computer takes a long time to boot...like 40 seconds or so to get to the ROG splash screen

i really don't know what to do next, how to individuate the problem if it's software, hardware
