Apex keeps crashing on PC

Christ1992 · April 21

Good afternoon,

I put together a computer myself +/- 1year ago.
And since 2 months or so the game Apex crashes regularly.
I play same or never other games until this weekend I was playing rust and also rust crashed.

There is no error message, no logging in the event vieuwer (application) of Windows the game just shuts down completely.
The PC itself never has crashes / BSOD.

Stress test on CPU and GPU has been done for +/- 1h.

Meanwhile I have already formatted the PC, tested with windows 10 & 11.
Old & new drivers from NVIDIA, but nothing seems to help.

No overclocking.

Problem:
Apex crashes the first +/- 5x when starting the game, loading screen or in the menu.
Once we are in-game it does not occur often.
No logging or error message.
The PC itself or other applications never crash.

What else can I check?

Build:

Kind Regards,

You could try lowering the power draw on the GPU and/or the cpu, and see if that fixes it? It could possibly be transient spikes causing it. Mine always did it on starting a game.

I have a 7900xt and just a 13600k, they are enough to crash my PC with an 850w power supply. It wouldn’t be crazy to think that the 4090 and a 13900k could trip a 1000w power supply.

@Depauville Kid Look like that was the problem.
This solved my problem:
I had to set all the CPU core multipliers from 58x and 55x (default) to 57x and 54x (-1).
