Question Games crash back into Windows

[cynicoren]

Hello,

I have this thing that is happening in the past several months - games I play suddenly stop and I'm thrown back into windows. No error messages. It happens suddenly, in different games, as if I was shutting them the task manager.

How can I fix this?

Thank you

What games are you we looking at here? Where did you source the games from? You might want to also specify the full specs to your build so we understand what you're working with, hardware wise.

Have you tried reinstalling your graphics drivers?
You can also try monitoring your GPU temperatures to make sure it’s not overheating (I doubt that is the issue, but better check)

I updated the GPU drivers a few times since it first happened, to no avail.

I check the GPU and CPU with OCCT for a few minutes each test, temps were good and no errors discovered.

This might be a PSU problem. I'm having the same problem as well and in a thread I recently posted someone recommended that I change my PSU. Haven't tried it yet since I don't have the money to buy a PSU but it might be worth a shot on your end. I've stressed tested the GPU, checked for corrupt files, reinstalled GPU drivers, switched GPU with my APU, and even reinstalled windows and my games would still crash to desktop without error.
