Solved New pc build crashing in game

Not open for further replies.
I was able to play pubg for a good couple of hours before it crashed. cs go crashed immediately when I tried to join a competitive match

is there a way I can watch the voltages while im gaming?
 
As far as i know only paid for software will allow you to do that or alternatively you could try the free thirty day trial of Aida64

If me I would try running Memtest86 for four or five passes, that should throw up any problems with the RAM, Memtest download from here
 
Leave Memtest running overnight, it will not stop testing the RAM until you physically stop it, RAM is a lot better these days but with the older DDR2 and to an extent DDR3 when it was first released I used leave Memtest to run eight times and even when in a rush no less than four or five times.
 
Ok so I guess because I only have the free version of memtest, it only allows 4 passes. I'll look into buying it and running it over night. It's running 4 passes right now
 
Have you ever heard of an issue like this being caused by an hdmi cable? I couldn't find the cable that came with my monitor so I've been using the one that came with my apple tv.
 
No need to purchase Memtest, the Pro version only offers more features and does not make any difference of how many times that you can leave it to run.

Not sure about it being the cable as you would expect to get display issues rather than crashing.
 
If you got four passes again it is unlikely that it is the RAM that has a problem.

What was the computer doing at the time of the latest crash and can you describe the crash, certain behaviour can often be a good clue.

Use the free versions at the following two links.

Stress test your GPU with Furmark

Check your FPS with Valley
 
Ok so I replaced the mobo today just to make sure that wasn't the issue. The crashes are the same every time. Only in games, cs go especially. Pubg I can sometimes play for about 20 mins or longer, theres also times it just freezes instantly. Impossible to predict. I'll be playing and then the screen just goes white and the sound freezes. I can still hear sound but it's just like a skipping CD almost. I've run unigine valley multiple times on ultra settings and get average of 80 fps. Running the furmark gpu stress test right now. It's been going for ten mins and hasnt gone over 59 degrees.

Ok so just an update. I've fixed the crashing pc. It was a faulty gpu. I originally bought a gigabyte windforce gtx 1650 for the new pc build, crashed in the first game I played. I automatically suspected the gpu, so I brought it back to the retailer and they replaced it with another gigabyte windforce gtx 1650. Same crashing issue. How unlikely would it be to have two faulty GPU's causing the exact same issue. After countless hours troubleshooting and diagnosing, not just by me but everyone here too, I replaced literally everything. So i decided to try a different gpu from msi. Problem solved.

I must have posted this in the wrong thread
