Below are details of what I am doing/what happens when the game crashes:
- I use 2 monitors and have a show playing on the second screen, streaming on Chrome or Opera GX
- I am running a game for a random amount of time before crash (could be a couple hours or a couple minutes)
- My audio stutters and repeats one sound until the PC powers off
- My screen turns mostly black but some objects on the screen still show a slight silhouette in gray/blue
- While the game is running, there is no sign that my PC is bogging down or cant handle the load of the game
- Only crashes with higher-power games like DL 2 or M&B2 Bannerlord
- All drivers have been updated according to the manufacturers' websites
- After having this issue for a while I added my original GPU back into the PC in addition to the new one and did not notice a change.
