Games keep crashing

Not open for further replies.
Hello my name is Milo I'll try to keep this short and sweet but detailed.

Recently for some reason any game I run on my PC crashes to desktop. It seems to have started out of no where and I really don't know what the issue is. I can't even tell if it's software or hardware related. Basically yesterday I had no issues running any games all day, later in the evening though I had Playerunknowns battlegrounds crash a few times, so I decided to run other games and test it and sure enough they would all crash varying from running for a few minutes to some crashing seconds into connecting into the game. Nothing else seems to be crashing, I can stream multiple HD videos, I can run multiple non-game related programs and am experiencing no issues. While running these games I have my task manager open and when they crash it doesn't look like anything is being strained too hard, the only exception being sometimes the disk is running at 100%, but not every time it crashes.

I thought it might be a software issue at first, especially something with windows so I tried updating all my drivers and windows itself but I was getting the same issue. I decided to wipe everything and reinstall from scratch, including windows 10 and that's exactly what I did but to no avail, I am still experiencing the same issue.

I know I don't have a lot of information but I really have no idea what started this or why it's happening, I would love to trouble shoot more so if anyone has any suggestions or can be of any help it would be highly appreciated.

Specs:
Windows 10
Radeon RX 480
i7-6700 3.4 ghz
8 gb RAM GDDR5
1TB HDD Toshiba DT01ACA100
 
Hi Alex. What make and model of power supply does your computer have? Are you overclocking any components?

Have you tried updating your motherboards BIOS to the latest version? Using Speedfan that vger linked to, can you post a screenshot of what your system temps are showing when you play a game so we can ensure that your system is not overheating?
