Question Games and OBS crashing.

[Erik84]

I build this pc about 3 months ago.

I had a few crashes in (2 different) games (where one of the games can be ran on a potato pc) but also OBS crashed (i was not streaming). I had some crashes in those games before too ( last 2 months ). I was gaming and had OBS opened but was NOT streaming. I have no idea what could cause this.

I used speccy and core temp programs to check temps of CPU and GPU while gaming and I saw no problems with temperatures. I also benched the pc with Prime95 (cpu stress test) and Furmark 2 (gpu stress test) and ran Memtest64 for 2 hours. None of the 3 tests gave any errors or bad results.

PC SPECS : CPU - i5 12600KF GPU - RTX 4070 Super RAM - 32GB (4x8) Windows 11 - GPU , windows and BIOS updated.

In the BIOS i noticed the ram i use was set to a speed of 2800mhz. I think that my ram speed is not capable of that speed (see picture). I now set the speed the "auto" in BIOS. I couldnt test the games yet to see if this solved the problem. But what do u guys think of the Ram ? Also , my MOBO is PRIME B660-PLUS D4. Is that compatible with the ram i got ?

Running out of thoughts here .. Hoping to find help.

Friendly greetings , E.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

I had a few crashes in (2 different) games (where one of the games can be ran on a potato pc) but also OBS crashed (i was not streaming). I had some crashes in those games before too ( last 2 months ).
You'll have to state the titles to said games.

What driver version are you on for your GPU?

Version 576.52 - I doubt the gpu driver is the issue since some games had crashes with the previous driver aswell.

2 hours of memtest is not enough.

What power supply do you have?

I am testing the 2 games atm. with the RAM speed set to "auto" in BIOS. Can u guys see what speed my ram has ? It is unclear to me in the cpu z program. I have this ram for many years so I realy don't know what speed it has.

After gaming for about 4h and no crashes , I think (and hope) setting the RAM speed to "auto" in BIOS was the fix. I thank those who tried to help.
