Question Games keep crashing.

[kubacs]

Hello,

Recently I noticed that whenever I play any sort of game, it decides to crash after like 5 to 10 minutes.
I tried Dying Light: Crashes after 5 mins
Euro Truck Simulator: Crashes after 5 mins
Cooking Simulator: Crashes after 10 mins
Hitman: Crashes after 10 mins

This stuff is ridiculous, to be honest.

Pretty much every game I play is crashing.
I'm was not sure if it's my PC but its kind of annoying to be honest.

My Specs:

Intel Core i5-4670
24GB RAM
Asus Asrock Z87-K Motherboard
MSI Aero Geforce GTX 1080 (Slight Overclock
1x 180hz Asus Monitor
1x 144hz Msi Monitor


Please Help me out as soon as possible.

Thank you.
Kuba

Please Help me out as soon as possible.

I don't know much about this sort of thing but do those games print any sort of crash report? Might be worth taking a look at to see if your CPU is the problem.

Just my two cents

Can you describe the crashes? Does your system lock up, does it restart or BSOD? Keep an eye on your temps (both cpu and gpu). A clean install of your display drivers can also help to make sure there is nothing amiss there. (Use DDU in safe mode, clean drivers, restart and install the latest package)

Crashing while gaming...but OK otherwise is generally one of two things...a video card that needs a good cleaning or a power supply that cant handle the load.

Bottle necking is an entirely separate issue from crashing...bottle necking would show as poor frame rates and stuttering while gaming...but crashing from that is unlikely with your rig.
