    Question Games crashing at launch

    I think you need one more windows update, that also happened to me but was fixed in a little patch. But there it is, check that "Other devices" with the little question mark that shows on your Device Manager. Do this...

    Question Games crashing at launch

    Oh wow yea in your case try updating all those, the one that did it for me would be "Intel - System". It was a driver update that i don't know why it was in "Optional updates" in the first place. Things are still working fine, i played OW yesterday for like 1 hour no problems, i'm currently...

    Also, check your optional updates. I'm thinking that both in my old pc, and my new pc, had in common that while i did download the Win10 update, i ignored the optional update (Intel update) as people said that it was optional and sometimes caused instability. In the event viewer, the crashes...

    Question Games crashing at launch

    Yep, that's the update. However, i don't know if that could be the culprit because i had this issue with both ver 20H2 and 21H1. And yes, used DDU for all driver rollbacks, currently on 466.79.

    Question Games crashing at launch

    Well, i did reinstall Windows many times. Some i disconnected my ethernet cable so i avoided the default GPU driver that Windows installs. That's when i used driver 466.79. It worked for some time, i played Overwatch for like 10 minutes and could run Unigine Heaven for like 3 min, however it...

    Question Games crashing at launch

    Oh damn, yes it is very frustrating. I don't know if it is a hardware issue or if it is software related. I'm so confused. It seems that this started with both Win10 21H1 update and driver 471.11 from NVIDIA. As i'm seeing a lot of people saying that reinstalling Windows doesn't work, nor...

    Question Games crashing at launch

    Yes. Bios up to date. I saw some errors on the event viewer: \Device\Video3 Graphics Exception: ESR 0x404490=0x80000001 and \Device\Video3 Graphics Exception: MISSING_MACRO_DATA Both from nvlddmkm. And there's one fix out there that tells me to rename that file (thats supposed to be on...

    Question Games crashing at launch

    I did a clean install and the problem persists which tells me it's probably a hardware issue. So in this case, do you think it is the GPU or the PSU? There were some times that i managed to run Overwatch and Unigine Heaven for like 2 minutes until it froze. The pc works perfectly fine on idle...

When I turned on the PC my monitor showed a "no signal" message, tried disconnecting the hdmi cable, the monitor, restarting my PC, things that had worked on other occasions with this problem but with no luck this...

    R9 380 Nitro or GTX 960 4GB Windforce

    So i built a pc recently, but i left the GPUs for the next month, so i can afford one, the thing is, in my country (Mexico) the GPUs are more expensive than they should be because of taxes. R9 380 Nitro= $245.5 aprox GTX 960 WF= $239.3 aprox The other choice is the R9 380 Dual X, its cheaper...
