My PC has been having very strange behaviour ever since I built it.
First off these are my specs:
All these components are only 1 year old.
Now, for whatever reason, when I play only certain games, the game randomly freezes and crashes ( game only, not pc ), sometimes I'll need to kill it via Task Manager.
Sometimes it'll only let me play the game 5 minutes, sometimes I can play for hours with no problems.
Sometimes it'll crash consistently almost instantly when I load into the game, the fix there is to restart the computer then it stabilizes again.
There are also some games that don't crash at all.
Just to list a few
Frequent (Sometimes can play for hours no problems, another times it crashes every time I loaded the game):
Doom 2020
Call of duty modern Warefare ( Unplayable: This always crashes about 5-15 min or instantly into the game)
Battlefield V ( Unplayable: This always crashes about 5-15 min into the game)
Gears of war 5
League of Legends
Infrequent: (Crashes some times, but can usually play no problems)
Assassins creed odyssey
Valorant
Subnautica
Far Cry 5
Division 2
Anyways, every time a game crashes I go into the Windows Event Viewer and see this log:
This leads me to believe it could be one of these issues:
Things I've tried:
Cleaning drivers
Reformatting windows
Making sure PC temperatures weren't high
Cleaning PC
Reconnecting cables
Disconnecting things before playing
Is also important to note that I live in Mexico and the electricity is very unstable here.
Someone suggested maybe Voltage regulator could help?
Any thoughts?

display driver has stopped responding and has recovered
This leads me to believe it could be one of these issues:
- PSU is unstable
- GPU is faulty
- SDD or Harddrives are corrupt (these are around 5-6 years old)
- Windows installation is corrupt
- Ram is faulty
