CS:GO crashes my PC

[howasaur]

Hi,

I just upgraded to an i5-3570k and a z77 motherboard from my old phenom II.

 

Games run great (PUBG runs smoother than it used to), but when going to test CS:GO, it booted fine. As soon as I joined a match and got in, it just crashed my pc and it restarted.

 

I verified cache and it replaced 3 files, and ran it again, hoping it'd work, but I joined another game, and it crashed again.

 

What can I do to make it run?

 

Side note: every time it crashes, it sets my default audio out to the onboard audio (but I use a usb sound card/mixer).

Play around with settings, check for driver updates, some programs could be conflicting with the game so I would check your task manager and see if closing some useless/not in use program to fix this issue.

I ended up finding to what I believe was the broken link.

 

I pulled one of my kits of 2x8 ddr3 out and I can actually play CS now.... but only time can tell to see if that was the full issue, but there's really nothing else to explain the problems I had.
