So i posted on the BSOD forum before about an issue i was getting where i was getting multiple BSOD every day, typically whilst playing games, the issue was somewhat resolved as i was rarely getting BSOD maybe one every two weeks.
However recently i have had my games constantly crashing. It happens to every game I have recently played, about 7 games i consistently play and i always get this from games like Sea Of Thieves, Rocket League, Saints Row 2 etc, so really any type of game. The games will load fine and even work for a while but then they will just crash and put me on the desktop.
For some games like Rocket league for example, the crashes are actually quite rare and there are even some days where it doesn't crash at all but most games crash within 10 minutes like Sea Of Thieves or Saints row, the worst i have had was with Fortnite earlier today, it was only my second time ever playing it on PC and after about 5 mins the game completely crashed my entire PC to a black screen and then it re-booted, so i loaded the game again and the exact same thing happened so i stopped playing, and whats weird is i was playing for about 20 mins last week and everything was fine for that game.
The excessive crashes only started happening in the past few days and i haven't made any big changes and i haven't downloaded anything either, apart from like 2 games on Steam. I've made sure my drivers are up to date and i'm sure they are and i frequently check CPU temps and it almost never goes above 65 degrees Celsius typically staying around 60 for most games. Although whilst i was playing Sea Of Thieves earlier today according to AMD Radeon Software my GPU was running at 92% usage whilst i only had that 1 game open and Discord in the background, I'm not sure how to approach this if its the issue since my GPU should be comfortably able to run these games especially since my graphic settings be low to optimise for performance.
I've also tried deleting and re-installing most of these games but that did not work.
My knowledge on computers is fairly limited but I'll try to provide any additional info if needed.
Thank you for any help its truly appreciated.
 
Hello,
yes i beleive the issue should be fixed now, My computer had an Nvidia driver for some reason even though I didnt install it and i have no Nvidia hardware. That couldve been the cause i'm assuming.
