My system:
On Feburary 2019, I bought and installed my new graphics card, XFX RX 580 GTS XXX (8gb) and since then, my games are crashing at random, there is not a thing that seems to be out of order, temperatures are good, clock speeds are good (1386mhz) and power is good too, set at 1,100mV maximum and 120-150w at peak consumption.
I can not seem to reproduce these crashes, they just happen at random and nothing seems to be going out of order prior to it, I repeat, this card does not go over 80-82ºC under stress which I believe is good for the type of card that it is, in games like forza horizon 4, at ultra 1080p60fps capped it hangs well at 65-75 degrees at 70-100% usage.
When these games crash, the following happens, the game just stops completely and then closes, or it stops completely and I have to forcibly close it with Task Manager, or the game will go black and close, or forcibly closed by task manager. Very few times the sound glitches out for a few seconds and then stops, then game closes. I would say 90% of the time there is no sound glitch when the game crashes, just a still image.
It happens with all kinds of games. I have experienced crashes in the following titles;
My card does not present artifacting or black screens, or full system shutdowns/crash, which makes me doubt whether the card came faulty.
The ONLY game in which I experienced artifacting is Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but it seems to be a normal bug within the game, as many people seem to get it and fix it by disabling a certain type of antialiasing or going back to DirectX11 from DirectX12
I have reinstalled countless times my GPU drivers to no avail. I also uninstalled drivers with DDU. Prior to this card I had a GTX 660, and actually, the crashes also happened with this card, but not nearly as often, these crashes would be scattered across many hours of gameplay, even days and would not be nearly as annoying. I do remember a couple games in which these crashes happened quite often on the old GPU (compared to any other game on it):
At this point I am thinking about doing a fresh windows installation but I am unsure whether this will be actually do anything.
Please find here a short list of the most recent crash dumps for you to see and maybe you can find something interesting
