Reinstalled Windows, PC still crashing while gaming?

[zevans]

I'm wondering if any body is in the same boat with me. Ever since new "FIX PUBG" update I been having nothing but issues (which the irony is so sad, it's hilarious)

 

 

 

I can play for a few rounds figure give or take an hour? Then out of complete nowhere my PC will freeze and crash. Not PUBG error report, it's an actual PC crash. The computer will still be on and running with fans spinning but the screen just blacks out with vertical lines and I have to hard restart to bring the PC back up.

 

 

 

At first I thought it was just on Sanhok map but then I ran a test to just leave it on the main menu screen and after 30 minutes, sure enough it will crash and do the same exact thing again.

 

 

 

Then I thought it was my PC hardware so I swapped video cards, same result. Then I even went as far as reinstalling windows all together to start off fresh. Same result. On the fresh install, I've installed nothing odd or out of the ordinary. AMD drivers, Intel drivers, steam, MSI afterburner (not to overclock just to set the fan curve) and PUBG.

 

 

 

So I currently running Rainbow Six Siege, playing it and leaving it on the menu and at the time of this post I've currently been sitting at the main menu for 1 hour 15 minutes with no crashes. I can also play it with no crashes. Looks to be no issues at all with Siege, but I don't have any other games to test it with.

 

 

 

So is it PUBG? Is any one else having this issue since the update? Could it be hardware related? I will leave my specs below for reference. I also included a picture I had to take with my phone of what it looks like when the PC crashes.

Pray to the almighty windows event viewer!

 

 

Check what's up in eventvwr.

Usually sees what it wrong if its memory or system based

That's your GPU crashing. Did you overclock your GPU in anyway?

I have tried two different GPU's and did not overclock either of them.

Sorry when I open up event viewer, I don't really know what I'm looking for.

Okay, So I ran PUBG and it went for about 15 minutes before crashing and I had to hard restart it, Once I got it back up I went to Event Viewer and what I have found in the last hour is this sorting by event type;

 

1 Critical: Event ID 41: Kernel-Power "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

 

 

1 Error: Event ID 6008: EventLog "The previous system shutdown at 10:29:05 PM on ‎8/‎15/‎2018 was unexpected."

 

5 Warning: The warnings are about not connecting to windows update and telling me I have lost connection with the network so non of these are related to the issue.

 

When I look under Windows Log under Applications, I see no errors? Nothing weird started or stopped. I don't know what I am supposed to be looking at, but nothing is really popping out at me that says "This was the problem for the crash"....

 

And I mind you, Right before I launched PUBG, I was playing another game for a few hours.

When you reinstalled Windows did you install the same GPU driver version? Try rolling back the GPU driver to an older version.

When I reinstalled windows, I installed the most up-to-date radeon adrenaline driver. I haven't tried rolling them back though. I can try that. I'm currently downloading battlefield 1 to see how that plays out. But as of right now I can play Rainbow Six Siege with no issues at all. I forgot to mention in my original post, temps are good all around even while playing PUBG which is the game that crashes the PC.
