V-sync helps bring the usage down to 40%, and its not a RAM issue... i updated my drivers, and updated my bios. i think its probably a motherboard issue or a power supply issue, the game still freezes alot though.
 
Power supply is not seeing an issue there.

See if you turn off XMP for the RAM see if that makes a difference. Also turn off any over clocking.

Will be a bit while going through the logs.

What are your internet speeds, and have you checked those during times when you normally play

my internet is not an issue, i have over 200 mbps download, and 10 mbps upload. also the crashing and freezing happens in offline games as well.

also i just reset my bios, so that would set things to default, im going to try the clean boot right now.
 
i did the clean boot, i still got the audio errors, i havent tested for the game crashing though. im going to be AFK for a few. so i will be back in a bit
 
Let's get a new speccy and see if anything looks troublesome with that refresh.
 
is it possible its a virus? i used malwarebytes to check everything, but nothing popped up on the scans... would anyone have a better software to recommend?
 
Uninstalling MalwareBytes would be a good step, antivirus/antimalware software is known for gumming up Windows machines.

Let's try some easy stuff first before buying anything expensive, regarding #4, unplug one of you monitors, having two with different refresh rates can cause issues.:

This is my laundry list, it's a good starting point for troubleshooting and should get you an idea what's going on:


1. Try running the following programs, also try to keep at least 20-25% of your disks as free space.

Run Disk Cleanup (check all the boxes) this will delete things such as your recycling bin, so make sure you don't have any files you want to keep.

Run Defragment and Optimize Drives, run this on your drives.


2. Disable any overclocking or changes to power/performance settings

Turn off XMP/any overclocking you may have done (if any)

Settings > System > Power and sleep > Additional power settings
Make sure your power plan is set to balanced, anything else could tamper with the wrong settings and cause issues.


3. Check for Operating System Corruption

Right click on the Windows logo in the bottom left and select Windows Powershell (Admin)
Run these three commands separately:

sfc /scannow

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

These will take a while to run, do not close out of Powershell while they are running, if one fails then move onto the next and then loop back around.

Note: It doesn't hurt to make a system backup before you make all these changes, save any important files of folders. While these changes shouldn't cause any issues, better to be safe than sorry.


4. Unplug unnecessary devices.

If you have a gamepad, extra monitor, external hard drive/flash drive, or anything that is not essential to using the computer plugged in, unplug it.


Once you have completed all of these tasks, restart it (using the restart option in the power menu) and re-test.
