    Games crashing to desktop

    I have been getting random crashes to desktop playing most games since I put my new system together. I was hoping someone had some insight into why this might be. I have some ideas but none seem to work. My system is:

    Intel i7-13700k 13th gen
    MSI Z690 Carbon wifi Intel motherboard
    Nvidia RTX Ventus 3x plus OC edition 3080
    Trident Z5 DDR5 32 gigs ram
    Corsair RM850x PSU
    Nocturna fan on CPU
    Windows 11

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider I have had a lot of crashes on and I don’t know why, being it is an older game. The crashes happen randomly but usually an hour or two of playing. The settings are only on high and not ultra high. I underclocked and undervolted my graphics card because I heard that they have bad capacitors and they are unstable when overclocked, which is what my graphics card is out of the box, but still getting crashes. The temp of the gpu gets to about 74 C before it crashes which doesn’t seem that hot. The fans get to about 1600RPM which is about 55% of speed. After underclocking the card the speed is maxed at 1950 Mhz (the overclock is about 2040 MHz) and the voltage is at 1.0 (the original is at 1.1 volts). I have the games ran as administrator. Is my system not up to the task of playing these games or could it be something else? Any help would be appreciated![ATTACH type=“full”]12221[/ATTACH][ATTACH type=“full”]12220[/ATTACH]

      I changed the option to exclusive fullscreen and turned down the refresh rate to less than 120 Hz. For some reason the game has the frame rate tied in with the refresh rate so when I turned that down the frame rate lowered a bit which brought clock down substantially. My fans speed and temperature were much better and haven’t had a crash since. It has only been a day so I will post again if I crash but I think that was the problem. I’ll check out the speccy if I get another crash though!
