PC crashing when playing games

[FischerC]

I haven't been having the issue with every game mainly overwatch and forza horizon 3 but borderlands 2 runs fine. I've tried running overwatch in window and it ran fine then when I put it into full-screen it crashed. (it always crashed when loading into a map) I just clean installed my gpu drivers and updated windows trying to fix it.

specs:

6600k (not OC)

msi 970 twin frozer V

8 gb ram

full list here

I was told by a friend to run a memtest and it came up with no errors

Probably a driver issue. Uninstall GPU drivers with DDU and reinstall them

Do you use MSI Afterburner's (or Precision X's) overlay and is your GPU overclocked? If so, uninstall MSI Afterburner (Or Precision X) and see if it fixes the issue. If the issue persists, reinstall the game.

The cpu is the main thing in use when loading maps from what I know so it could be the cpu.

Anyways.  If GPU is overclocked that would cause that if done improperly.  Check for driver updates etc etc.

gpu is factory overclocked (i do have msi afterburner installed trying to monitor gpu) could reinstalling  the games help if it has spread to other games?

gpu is overvlocked from the factory and i clean reinstalled my gpu drivers

Got any other cards to test?  It could be a bad card if it's not the drivers.  Check your hard drive as well if it crashes while loading, it may be corrupted files.. Maybe!  That one seems like a stretch, but that's how I roll   Let me know what turns up.

don't have any other cards to test... i'll try to reinstall a game that keeps crashing

If you've done any edits with video card configs in the nvidia control panel or the amd equivalent you should hit the restore default.  And let me know how the reinstall goes.

i just played some settings and kept the temp under 60 and it seems to be fine. also what is the speed of your gpu's fans under full load?

[KyonEXE]

Hmm, I haven't looked at my fans on a full load yet.  Also not home so I will have to get back to you on that.
