Hi,
This month I upgraded my system with a new motherboard, cpu, ram and AIO (specs below)
For the first week everything was running like a dream but now I have been getting problems. I am getting crashes across multiple games very frequently (roughly 15 mins to 1hr play time, though sometimes with older games it can go to 2 hours) with no obvious cause. (It can be a in a cutscene, it can be standing still and it can be amongst action)
I have made sure every driver is up to date from the mobo to windows, I have done a clean install with the Nvidia drivers twice now in case there was any corruption.
I have a constant check on temps and nothing is going over 60ish on both the cpu and gpu.
As I have upgraded from an older chipset and DDR4 to DDR5 I have nothing I can check each component with to see if its one specific hardware item causing the problems, though I do feel its probably software related.
The only setting I have changed in the Nvidia control panel is to prefer maximum performance on power management. I have also checked all the other frequent settings (native resolution, screen refresh Hz) match and that G-Sync is set to windowed and full screen (The graphics card was used before in the old set up and I never had problems with it and my monitor with G-Sync enabled so I assumed it isn’t the problem now but i will disable it and run a few games and see if I still have problems)
Where I am really stuck is how to try and find out what the problem could be, is there some kind of windows log I can check to see what caused a program to stop running?
This might sound stupid but on my old system I never had an issue with games crashing apart from when my old GPU got an RMA and was refunded.
I would be extremley grateful if anyone has the time to try and reccomend some things I could try or where to start looking for the cause. TYIA

*worth noting that games installed on different SSDs and not one specific have been crashing, I use the M.2 for larger / games I find mor eenjoyable or will play long term. So I do not think its a corrupt SSD
