Question Games crashing coincides with gpu voltage jump

[AJStellios]

I'm having an issue with games crashing to desktop, sometimes with an error message including "display driver failed" or "display device failed", sometimes with no error message. Using benchmarking software doesn't cause a crash.

I've used MSI afterburner's hardware monitor and noticed that the "voltage limit" spikes when the game crashes (image). I don't understand the workings of GPUs so not sure what this means and if its a sign of something wrong with my gpu?

Temps are fine, drivers are all updated and I reset my PC after having no look troubleshooting. Eventviewer doesn't show any consistent errors.

Thanks for any help.

Thank you. Given you've tried most everything and all drivers are up to date, I'd suggest you update your bios, is it's not already up to date.

Thank you, my BIOS isn't the latest version so I will update and see what happens.

Let us know how that goes.

Unfortunately updating the bios hasn't fixed the crashing.
