My games identify the 6GiB of VRAM, but they crash when I set them on High or Ultra Settings.
It happens with Rainbow Six Siege, Watch Dogs and Resident Evil 7 (the only games i have).

Does anybody know what I have to do to run these games at the highest Settings?

My Specs:
Asus A320m
8GiB 2x4 2400mhz Crucial Ballistx
Corsair VS500
GTX 1060 6GB OC GALAX
AMD Ryzen 5 1400

(No overclock has been done)
 
Solution
What if you run a graphics stress test like Furmark? Does it crash the computer? Maybe your power supply isn't putting out all the power the card needs when it's under full load. The Corsair VS line isn't the greatest. In fact, you have nice components in all your choices...except the power supply.
