Question Help troubleshooting games crashing at launch

[sloan1209]

Ive recently noticed an issue when trying to open a good number of games. The game opens the initial app window then immediately closes usually with no crash report. On occasion, the game will get a few seconds into loading up and play a bit of music or spin the loading screen a bit, but then inevitably closes. The games this has happened with is Warframe, Path of Exiles 2, Dragon age Veilguard, Satisfactory, and Minecraft. Minecraft is an odd one because it usually works and I can play but will still randomly crash. Im pretty sure its related because I never used to have issues with it. Oddly, I can still run "simple" games like the Binding of Isaac, Risk of Rain, etc. It seems to be more "complex" games that crash, BUT Elden Ring worked as far as I could tell when I was testing it with max graphics on. I was leaning toward it being a RAM issue because while troubleshooting these issues, I noticed my MOBO wasnt recognizing one of my RAM sticks. I tested the other ports with the one that worked and the ports seem to be good, just the one bad stick. I just installed a new set of sticks and I have the same issue so I'm at a bit of a loss and could use some help. Ive updated gpu drivers, tried running in dx11 rather than 12, reinstalled the games in question, and verified integrity and nothing has worked so far.

specs:
MOBO: asus prime z790
GPU: RTX 3090ti
RAM: crucial DDR5 pro 32GB (2x16GB) 5600
CPU: i7-13700k

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

I tested the other ports with the one that worked and the ports seem to be good, just the one bad stick. I just installed a new set of sticks and I have the same issue so I'm at a bit of a loss and could use some help.
Speaking of ram, ideally you should've looked into a DDR5-6000MHz or slightly higher, tight latencied ram kit to get the most out of your Intel platform.

Ive updated gpu drivers,
You might want to see if using DDU helps your predicament out. Run DDU in Safe Mode to remove all GPU drivers(intel, AMD and Nvidia), then manually install the latest GPU driver in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.
