This issue been raging on ever since i got my computer. Games like "The Forest" GTA V, Steep. You get the point. Been trying to fix it but nothing works. It completely freezes and nothing works, i usually restart my pc with the powerswitch. My specs should be completely fine according to the games i play. I barely know anything about computers but these are my specs.

NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2070 SUPER
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700F CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz
16gb Ram

Let's get some more information:

Download and run speccy.

Once you have ran speccy, follow the instructions to upload a snapshot found here.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

  1. In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.
  2. In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.
  3. Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot dialog box. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

Please list your power supply unit

You should be able to pull off the side panels and see from one of them.

If you can't do that, i would check your records, wherever you bought it from should have noted the unit as well.

A few things about your computer:

Physical Memory
Memory Usage:
96 %
Click to expand...

You're running out of available memory, that's no good. You computer has been on less than an hour, please verify through task manager that you are in-fact running at high memory utilization.

McAfee VirusScan
Antivirus:
Enabled
Click to expand...

Antivirus/Antimalware programs are known for gumming up gaming systems, Windows Defender with some common sense is more than sufficient for most users.

Power Profile
Active power scheme:
Høj ydeevne
Click to expand...

High performance can cause issues, this is something that is generally only needed for Gaming Laptops, it's considered a form of overclocking and can push the system over, so we generally recommend leaving it to Balanced.

Monitors with different refresh rates are known to cause issues, try using only one monitor at a time, if the problem persists, try using the other monitor alone as well.

Here is a MAJOR problem that is causing you issues.

Partition 2
Partition ID: Disk #0, Partition #2
Disk Letter: C:
File System: NTFS
Volume Serial Number: C47E43C1
Size: 951 GB
Used Space: 944 GB (99%)
Free Space: 6,58 GB (1%)

Now a days you have to have 30 to 32 percent of the drive available for windows to run properly plus 32 GB available for Windows to update. Then there is also reserved around 7-10 GB. The less space the harder the drive has to work to store data including temp files that they system uses for the program running.

I tried to solve the problems.
I deleted some games and my storage disc have 344 avaible gb. I turned off my antivirus while playing the said games. Also changed the power scheme to balanced, but i dont know what to do with the high memory usage.

Has your memory use changed at all now that you have more disk space available?

Can you post another Speccy after restarting your computer?
 
#11
Your memory usage is much better now, glad Rustys caught the disk space issue. :)

The only other thing I would do is completely uninstall McAfee and re-enable Windows Defender and Windows Firewall.

They posted an article here on how to remove the products and even have a tool to help should something go awry.


Above how the system looks though, how does it feel? Is it more responsive, do the games still freeze?

Without the power supply information cannot tell you completely what is going on. Especially if the supply is under powered which will attempt to condensate as much as it can possibly burning itself out and or causing failures and damaging hardware.

Welcome for the assistance.

This may explain why the power supply is one of the most important parts.

Do you mean time zone? If so im normally avaible from 14:30 to the 12:00. But i have another question, why is it that other games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Forza Horizon 5 and Sea of thieves dont crash? It would seem like they would require more because they have more impressive graphics and such.
 
#16
Those games are more processor heavy if I recall correctly.

Rustys is asking how long until you will be able to test a new PSU, if you can't get one soon the moderators can close this thread and reopen it once you have tried what we've suggested.
