So i just built my new PC on Saturday and it works almost perfectly. Everything runs fine except when i play certain games they will crash to the desktop without any warning like i alt f4'd or something. There isn't a set rhyme or reason either as its sporadically. Part way into a few Heroes of The Storm matches its crashed to the desktop. 10-20 minutes into a payday game it crashed and after restarting it, it was almost every 5 minutes. Then anytime a game of payday started i would crash. On rainbow 6 siege i was in a game and on subsequent starts it crashes on startup.

My specs:
CPU: intel core-i7 6700k
GPU: MSI 980ti
OS: win 10 64 bit
PSU: corsair 750w rm
RAM: 16 gigs ddr4 G.skill ripjaw
mobo: MSI 170a M7
hdd- 3tb black
ssd- samsung 250g

As far as trying things i dont think its a hardware problem as ive run 3d Mark fully without crash and Aida 64 extreme without crash. I think my power should be good as my computer hasnt crashed and as far as heat my cpu is water cooled with a kraken and under stress hasnt been higher than 36c and my gpu runs at about 65c under load and 40-45c idle.

Im here to answer any questions and really would love some help!

 


Yes windows 10 auto updated to the newest version, my hraphics card drivers are up to dste according to geforce experience, and i downloaded all the drivers for my motherboard from the website.
