Hello, I hope I posted this thread in the right section.
My problem is the following: every time I try to play a game, after playing games for a while, the game crashes to desktop without any error. It just freezes for a second and then it goes to desktop (it's random, sometimes this happens after 10 minutes, sometimes after 5-6 hours, sometimes it doesn't happen at all).
I checked for everything I knew, I benchmarked my CPU, GPU, Ram, SSDs + HDD but no errors popped up. I reinstalled the GPU drivers both manually and using DDU (with and without safe mode), I even upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10 but with no luck. After that, I reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 11 but with no luck in sight.
It doesn't help either that no error is showing after the games crash. Once or twice it gave me a generic DX error driver that crashed, but I don't think this is the root cause because it doesn't give me this error every time. Also, twice the whole system froze while playing the new Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and I had to shut down my PC using the power button.
Also my temps are really fine, I have a Corsair H100i for my CPU and it never goes above 65-70 degrees Celsius, nor does my GPU ever gets above 60 degrees Celsius under full load. Also, the CPU, Motherboard and cooler are fairly new, I bought them in november 2020.
What do you think this could be the cause? I was thinking that my PSU is failing since it's really old (I don't even remember when I bought it, but it's at least 6-8 years old) but I want to be sure before replacing it because I don't want to waste any money, even more so in the current economic crisis we're in.
My PC configuration:
CPU: i5 10600KF 4.1GHz (did not overclock it in fear of not blowing my PSU)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti
Ram: 2 x Hyper X Fury Black 8GB DDR4 2133MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X
PSU: Sirtec High Power 80+ bronze 600W
Edit: Storage: 1 x Hyper X SSD SATA3 256 GB (running Windows on it), 1 x Hyper X M.2 SSD 1TB (for games) and 1 x HDD 7200RPM
Edit 2: after the games are crashing, in the Event Viewer a general Kernel Error appears
