Windows/Games are randomly crashing

Hey guys, I just got my PC running again after some Problems, but now I have Random Crashes. For example, I start Hitman and either my complete PC or only Hitman freezes until it gets restarted, same thing with Rocket League. Overwatch on the other hand worked without any problems. Also, the PC froze 3 times in the last 5 hours just while browsing/watching videos. I have the PSU in suspicion (Sharkoon WPM700), I also ordered a new one already, because it was causing some other problems already. Now I don't think its Responsible for all the errors. For example I got my Ram in the slots 3 & 1 because that was causing less problems than Slots 1 & 2, but maybe not (I know its confusing). Also, one of the 2 required 6 Pin Cables of my Power Supply is lost, so I used a 2x 4 Pin to 6 Pin Adapter. That's all the things I could think of that could cause problems. I'll add the Logs of the crashes in a minute, I'll just change my system to English quickly so you can guys can understand it.

My Windows and all the Programs are on a Samsung 850 Evo SSD (128GB) and my Games are on my WD Red HDD (1TB)

I would RMA the 1tb red. It sounds to me like it has issues. WD is really good about exchanges in most cases.

Does it look like a Problem caused by the HDD? I have no idea and I wasn't able to fix it yet.

Most problems with games are due to a failing hard drive provided the rest of the pc is ok, which is usually the case.

If you goto WD website you should be able to download a testing tool. I know Seagate has one.  Looking at the error reports I'd also look at deleting and reinstalling graphics card drivers and make sure you are using the latest ones.

Also you can try this I found on google

 

Fix Nvidia Nvlddmkm.sys Error Message

Go to your NVIDIA folder (located in C:\NVIDIA), and look for the file named nvlddmkm.sy. 

Next, copy the file at the root of C:. In most cases, this file name is C:\nvlddmkm.sy_. 

Now, head to the system folder that houses your drivers (in many cases, this is C:\Windows\System32\drivers\). 

Locate the nvlddmkm.sys file, and rename it as nvlddmkm.sys.old. 

Now, open the command prompt by pressing the Windows key + R and typing cmd. 

Type cd, followed by the Enter key. Then, type expand.exe nvlddmkm.sy_ nvlddmkm.sys, and press Enter again. 

This command will allow you to unzip the nvlddmkm.sys file (which was previously saved at the root of C:) and create a new file instance. 

Copy the new file to C:\WindowsSystem\32drivers, and then restart your PC to let the changes take effect

Yup, in the case of Seagate, ours is called SeaTools and you can find it here.

Did that, did not have any problems with Nvlddmkm.sys after that, at least not yet ^^ Thank you
