No, those specs wouldn't cause a crash. You might try cleaning the system of junk files, registry errors, and other software conflicts first with something like CCleaner. If it finds a lot, run it more than one time. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

Then check your tray for stuff you can disable. if your tray is full of crap running in the background when you are trying to game, you are asking for problems.. Especially if those things are poorly written "freebies".

If the above doesn't solve the issue, try uninstalling the gfx driver (and any previous drivers) from safe mode with DDU: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/550192/geforce-drivers/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-v12-9-3-4-released-06-09-14-/

The install the latest driver for your card.

If none of the above fixes it, you may have a hardware component failing. PSU, memory, card...
