[SOLVED] In game crashes

[tdonn16]

My PC crashes occasionally when i play video games. Some days it doesnt crash at all, other days i crash multiple times. Ive been hoping that a driver update or windows update would fix my problem, but it has been going on for a month. I crashed out of witcher3, 3 times today after running it fine 2 days prior and i need to find a solution. What are my first steps in finding a solution/what should i do to attempt to fix this.

Here is my computer specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gW8nsJ

-Take out the 2nd kit of memory you added and test again - I hope you didn't mix the sticks up...

-Run a Windows DISM and system scan: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026529/windows-10-using-system-file-checker

-Scan the PC for malware with Adwcleaner: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/

Just to clarify, you are saying I should take out the two 4gb sticks of RAM I added later and run these tests?

Even if they are the same product?

Yes.

They are not, even if they look identical.
They weren't tested and certified by the manufacturer to work together, so they may as well not be the same.
