I built my computer a little while ago and everything was amazing. It was eating frames like a boss for nearly every game. Over the course of its life, I have consistently cleaned and upgraded my components to better fit the increasingly demanding games that each year brings. Recently I wanted to get into games like Death Stranding and a few other demanding titles like Avengers and one of the first things that happened in-game was a crash. That crash was followed by another crash after after letting me progress a little further into the game and it keeps doing that over and over letting me progress further and further but still crashing consistently. I quit that game and chalked it up to game bugs after going through every fix I could find on Reddit. This week I opened my freshly installed Marvel Avengers and right after the intro cutscene boom I crashed. And not just a normal crash my whole computer locked up forcing me to restart. This annoyed me but I tried again and got about 20 minutes in then I crashed again. It still does it all the time letting me get further and further but regardless of whether I'm solo or in a mission with other players I still crash. I'm at a loss for words at this point I don't know what to do to fix the problems that are increasingly evident. I love computer gaming and I'm happy I made the switch to pc but man this makes me just sad and it never happened to me on the console. And when I'm playing a game with a controller the latency would go from near-instant response time to me walking in one direction waiting for the controller to reconnect. I've tried multiple controllers and the phenomenon is mirrored by my headphones as well.
