Hey folks,
Hope you are all keeping well. As the title suggests, my PC seems to be freezing/locking up when I try to run games based on the unreal engine, to the point that I have to hard restart. I've tried a dozen or so games and this appears to be common denominator. I recently purchased this PC secondhand, and the issue has been occurring since I've had it. Here are the specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz 3.50 GHz
16gb RAM
Windows 10
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1070
Notably, the motherboard/graphics card are the MSI variant. I'm not really familiar with what this means, or if there's some additional I require.
I've been googling solutions and such, so here's what I've tried:
Windows repair (not a complete reinstall.)
Reinstalling/verifying integrity of game files.
Uninstalling/reinstalling/updating drivers for graphics card, motherboard, etc.
Rolling back/reinstalling Windows updates.
Checking hardware, reseating RAM, checking cable connections etc.
Windows repair program from Tweaking.com (Mostly because I was having some permissions issues accessing the NVIDIA control panel, which have since been resolved.)
Underclocking.
Probably some other things that I've forgotten.
Please let me know if there's any further information that you require. Any ideas would be welcome!
