Computer crashes within 3minutes of game loading.

By crash I mean the computer restarts and requires me to F1 into setup. This to me is a “crash” not a reboot.

I have played these games on this system for many years. This is a new issue that I have been unable to resolve on my own.

The games are Neverwinter Online and Black Desert Online, I don't dare try to load Skyrim.

Neverwinter will load and allow between 1 and 3 minutes of play before crashing, Black Desert will get 2/3 through the loading process and the computer will crash.

I am providing an overkill of information I know, but this has become my Goliath (to barrow a phrase) and I really want it fixed.

I originally set the computer up with C: containing the OS and D: for my games. When the issue started with Neverwinter I downloaded Black Desert to C: to test a theory. Crashed regardless.

I have the following running...
EVGA PrecisionX Server v6.1.9
EVGA Precision XOC x64 6.2.3 (Default settings)
NVIDIA Control Panel
NVIDIA GeForce Experience
Dolby Home Theater
ASUS Phebus
Windows Defender


I want to say this happened with the recent Windows 10 upgrade (1709) that caused the computer to require a clean install of Windows operating system and loss of ALL data, but I cannot say for sure.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

BTW. I uninstalled the video drivers and reinstalled them form the ASUS website. No change.

Are you suggesting I turn off IGPU like this ?

Turned off Windows Defender through gpedit and started Neverwinter.
Running 25 minutes @ 60 FPS, max memory usage is 1283mb, temp @ 63 C, GPU at 56.3%… must be something I have set wrong. I do not believe Windows Defender is causing this.

What could be conflicting with it?

Cannot test BDO because the trial has expired.

I get a GeForce overlay option, could that be an issue? I have no use for it anyway, will find a way to turn off.
I also get an option to press Win + G for a game bar (new to me, or maybe I never paid attention to it before)

Defender will remain off for now.

Thanks for looking
