I'm about to lose it with this issue as I've been trying to find a fix for months now.
Here's what's happening... Any time that I'm playing a game, it seems like I just crash at random. The crash goes like this... I'm playing something like Warframe or Hunt Showdown or whatever, the screen goes black as if the connection to my monitors just got disconnected. I can still hear any voice call on Discord and game/video audio, but my mic doesn't work. After a few seconds, my PC finally shuts down totally.
When I get back on I've gotten into the habit of checking Windows Event Viewer. So, EVERY time that I crash I notice a DCOM error in the event viewer, but I'm not sure if that's involved.
Something I've noticed is that this doesn't happen when I'm playing something like Stoneshard, Battle Brothers, Wartales, Balatro, Path of Exile 1 and 2. But almost always this crash occurs when playing something with a LOT of particle effects.
-Baldur's Gate 3, Specifically when around water or when Raphael appears to the party in Act 1.
-Ghostwire Tokyo, ANY time I'm around a water texture, even when I turn my graphics to the lowest settings. Btw, just to mention, my PC can run these games perfectly fine without any frame drops or lagging.
-Lost Eidolons, this one seems to be completely at random.
-Warframe, also at random, but this game is FULL of particle effects all over the place.
And the list goes on and on. Basically, if it has particle effects in it, I'm most likely going to crash.
I've done several things to try and fix the issue, but it still happens often and I'm really running out of ideas.
I've edited the registry to give permissions to myself to access the files that the DCOM 10016 error says I can't access. If that's even the problem.
I've tried running games on the lowest settings, turned off particle effects if possible, and running them as administrator. None of these individually or together have worked.
I've also tried disabling XMP profiles in my BIOS to stop the PC from overclocking anything. I also don't personally overclock anything on my PC.
These are my stats:
MB: ASUSTek PRIME B650M-A AX
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
RAM: 32 GB via two sticks
Running Windows 11
I would appreciate any help or advice on what I could do to fix this. It's starting to get very annoying.
Please let me know what other info I could give to help find the problem.
Thanks in advance.
