Hi there, I have been having this problem for the last 5 days and need help.
I recently bought an M.2 SSD and installed it in my PC with no problem. I also removed the old thermal paste and put some new, cleaned all the fans and the heatsink, etc...I installed Windows 10 from a bootable pendrive and downloaded all the latest updates, drivers and my usual programs. I also updated my BIOS to the latest version. The only thing I kept is some files from my old computer, mostly photos and documents.
Everything worked fine before changing from my old SSD and HDDs to the new one, but now after just a few seconds of opening whatever game I get this error: ''Video driver crashed and was reset. Make sure your drivers are up to date. Exiting...''. Sometimes it even shuts down my computer with no error, the game just freezes for a few seconds, then everything goes black for some more seconds and it just shuts down. I fixed this by increasing the page file size, now it doesn't shut down anymore, just goes black for a few seconds and then I get the error and the game closes. Some other games, for example, Fallout 4, just close after around 15 seconds of playing, no error or anything.
This is my PC specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (with AMD Wraith Prism)
ASUS PRIME X370-PRO
ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080 8GB
2 x 8GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical 3000Mhz
SSD M.2 ADATA 1TB XPG Spectrix S40G RGB
SeaSonic M12ii 620w Evo
NZXT Phantom 410
I have a good PC so it's not because it isn't capable of running them properly. I have tried everything I could think of and every solution I found on the internet: disabled the auto overclock settings for the CPU on the BIOS, set my RAM speed to 2133Mhz instead of 3000Mhz, downgraded to my older BIOS version, made several new Windows installations after formatting, downgraded my Realtek audio driver to the version I was using before, tried both Game Ready and Studio Nvidia drivers, run sfc / scannow and DISM with no errors found, ran a memtest with no errors found, even swapped the RAM sticks from the slots in the motherboard...I also checked my M.2 SSD firmware but it's already the latest version. I am running Windows 10 Pro ver. 1909 with the latest updates (I have checked several times), this isn't a heat issue because when games crash temperature is just above idle. I also tried changing the TdrDelay on the registry but that didn't work either. I was looking through some older questions and found people with similar problems. Some of them fixed it by replacing the PSU. I changed mine for a brand new EVGA 650 GD and had the same problem, so it has to be something else :/
I don't have idea what may be causing this. Any help is super appreciated! Thanks in advance!
