I have been getting random crashes to desktop playing most games since I put my new system together. I was hoping someone had some insight into why this might be. I have some ideas but none seem to work. My system is:
Intel i7-13700k 13th gen
MSI Z690 Carbon wifi Intel motherboard
Nvidia RTX Ventus 3x plus 3080 12GB GDDR6x OC edition
Trident Z5 DDR5 32 gigs ram
Corsair RM850x PSU
Nocturna fan on CPU
Windows 11
Most of the games I have played have had from 1 to about 30 crashes in the last couple of months. For example, Shadow of the Tomb Raider has had a lot of crashes and I don't know why, being it is an older game. The crashes happen randomly but usually an hour or two of playing. The settings are only on high and not ultra high. I underclocked and undervolted my graphics card because I heard that they have bad capacitors and they are unstable when overclocked, which is what my graphics card is out of the box, but still getting crashes. The temp of the gpu gets to about 74 C before it crashes which doesn't seem that hot. The fans get to about 1600RPM which is about 55% of speed. After underclocking the card the speed is maxed at 1950 Mhz (the overclock is about 2040 MHz) and the voltage is at 1.0 (the original is at 1.1 volts). I have the games ran as administrator. Is my system not up to the task of playing these games or could it be something else? Any help would be appreciated!
