Hello,
I'm having a problem with my system as of late, which caused me quite a headache. I've searched far and wide for an answer but couldn't find it, nor any resolution - so I'm addressing you guys, directly.
Description of the problem: I normally have an MMO opened, where I do stuff in the background + a browser and discord. After a while, at random, the first screen with the game on, goes black - game crashes, the tabs in the browser go out of memory, my audio player pops runtime errors, and my discord bricks up like an android phone with a failed root attempt. The system carries on though, no BSODs with memory dumps, no anything. When I reopen all windows, everything is back to normal. While having both my browser and the game on I reach 10GB usage out of 16GB RAM, so I'm having quite some room available before I'd go out of memory.
Temporary solution: I've found out that it never happens when the task manager is opened. If it's not on, the problem persists. I've tested that for two months already.
The problem started in November, when I've upgraded my GPU from RX460 (backup) to RTX 2060. Of course, I've wiped the previous drivers with DDU in safe mode, installed the new card and installed Nvidia drivers in safe mode. Reinstalling the drivers didn't help, increasing the size of paging file proved of no use as well.
Specs:
MOBO: B450 Aorus Elite
RAM: 2x8GB HyperX Fury Black 2666MHz overclocked to 3000MHz (worked fine before too - if restored to default, the problem persists)
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (not OC'd)
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 2060 6GB Rev.3
PSU: SilentiumPC Vero L2 500W
Drives: M.2 WD SN750 Black (System) 500GB, Seagate Barracuda 2TB, WD Blue 2TB, Patriot Burst 256GB.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
