[SOLVED] How can I stop my games from crashing on startup?

[deeshy]

Yesterday, the issue began: whenever I launched a game (I tried both Warframe and Rainbow Six Siege), they made it through parts of their standard loading screen with the CPU and GPU usage in task manager being 100%, then, still in the loading screen, either the monitor froze or the game crashed. How can I fix this issue? Also, the GPU drivers had been completely reinstalled (using DDU), two days ago.
Specs:
AOC 1440p 144hz monitor + Asia 1080p 144hz monitor
Z390-F motherboard
i5 6600k
Corsair water cooler (can’t remember exact name)
Strix 2080
970 EVO
RM650x PSU

Did you manage to fix it? And if you did, how did you do it?

Did you find the issues start around the same time as well, or have they been present for longer than a day or two now?

if using multiple sticks of RAM;
try each stick separately in each DIMM slot. either one of the sticks and/or one of the slots may have malfunctioned.

and try resetting all BIOS options to defaults.

you can also try reverting Windows back to a time before the crashes started or reinstalling a fresh copy of the latest version.
the OS can become corrupted during regular use and lead to system instability.

Is there a possible way for me to reinstall a fresh copy of windows without deleting the files that I have?

you will have to back them up to a separate drive, partition, or cloud location yourself.
what types of files?

Mainly game files as my download speed is very bad, and as such reinstalling games would be very painful.

 

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

if they are games installed by Steam, Rockstar, EGL, GOG, etc;
you can make physical copies of the game directories.

after the new OS is installed and the game launchers are reinstalled, place the game files back into their regular locations and login to the game launcher software.
it will locate the game directories, do a rehash of the game and system files and then only download what is necessary. should save you from re-downloading ~90% of the needed files to play them.

any offline game data would also need to be backed up. finding those files are a bit harder. look in ProgramData and various User folders for those specific files.
