Games crashing consistently, no error messages or any other issues!

[Arnab.18]

Starting about 3 or 4 days ago almost every game I play will run flawlessly until a random crash or freezing issue occurs. When this happens I have to close and restart the application and 9/10 the app runs perfectly for a time until it happens again. I cannot find any issues with my hardware (temps, voltage, power draw, etc) that would cause the issue and I am at a loss of where to look/how to diagnose

Every driver I could think of says its up to date, windows is up to date, I have verified game files on basically everything and they are good. I did a different scan I unfortunately cannot remember - utilizing the command prompt in which a file was found corrupted but presumably was redownloaded after the scan/a hard restart.

The only error message ive received comes form Valorant and states that the issue is my graphics drivers crashing, I have attempted to uninstall, reinstall, and roll back my graphics divers multiple times but the issue persists. pls help

Hi buddy,

 

Can you list your system specs? CPU, Mobo, Ram & GPU?

 

Open 'Event Viewer' and navigate to Windows Logs > System and scroll down to the time stamp of roughly when you think it crashed last. If its an Nvidia GPU, I'm willing to bet there will be a host of amber warning messages all saying 'nvlddmkm has stopped responding......'

 

Assuming that's the case, have you used DDU to remove all traces of the driver and reinstall? Using the Nvidia / AMD driver utility normally does the trick but DDU completely removes all traces of it and starts again.

 

If that doesn't work, I'm gonna suggest a fresh install of Windows. Not a repair or an upgrade, I proper fresh install where you delete all existing partitions and start again.

 

If the problem still persists, then I'd be happy to rule out any software issues so your now into diagnosing a hardware fault or compatibility problem.

honestly its probably the extremely invasive anti cheat messing stuff up. try to fully reinstall valorant. good luck.
