Hi

So the issue has happened on Fallout 76 and WWE 2K24 and What happens is they freeze but not the whole PC just becomes unusable. The cursor moves but it's slow and stuttery. It makes me have to shut the rig off by the PSU switch, I even replaced my platform and it still consists with those games.

I had a Ryzen 5 3600 and My 3050 and It kept happening, I thought it could have been a bad memory channel so i bought an I3 12100 to get started onto the 12th gen platform and still use the 3050, (yes i reinstalled windows) The problem still persists on WWE and Fallout 76 and im at a loss, Memory Diagnostic says there was an issue with this RipJaws kit i have so i tried another kit and that seems to be stable with no issues but the games still crash, I tested Hitman 3 and Elden Ring on the same SSD's and they ran fine, Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Current Specs
Intel Core I3-12100
ASUS RTX 3050 6GB
32gb XPG ? 3200mhz
SANDISK SSD 128gb (Boot)
1TB T-FORCE VULCAN Z SSD
1TB SP SSD
EVGA 600W BRONZE PSU

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

32gb XPG ? 3200mhz
Got a link to the ram kit?

EVGA 600W BRONZE PSU
EVGA is the brand of the unit, while 600W is the advertised wattage of said unit. Bronze is the advertised 80+ efficiency rating. What is the model of the PSU and it's age?

You forgot to mention the make and model of your motherboard. BIOS version for said motherboard?

(yes i reinstalled windows)
With all drives except for the one you wanted the OS on, disconnected from the system? Installed OS in offline mode? Speaking of OS, are you on Windows 10 or 11? Did you recreate the installer to rule out a corrupt installer?

Where did you source the installers for said games?
