Question Every Game Crashes / Lags

[waters.webdesign2]

Good morning. I'm sure this has been asked a million times but I have run out of things to try. Maybe I can get some advice I haven't heard before. My PC runs perfect. I do a lot of video editing in After Effects, doing massive renders in multiple pieces of software, never an issue. Whenever I try to run a game, it crashes. Most games crash during the initial loading screen, others crash after about 5 minutes. It doesn't matter if I buy the game on Steam, or if it has been downloaded from a disc. I did have a temp problem with my CPU but that has been resolved. Used to run over 60 Celsius, down to roughly 34 Celsius during renders. Most of the time, crash reports for the games aren't even created. When they are created, I send the to the games support line and am always told there's no reason for the crash and that my system must not be good enough to run the game. I have done a clean install of everything down to the OS and a new SSD. Everything is up to date, even tried older versions of software (like the GPU) with the same results. I have no idea what else to do.

I think we will need Application Error Logs to start the analysis.
