Question Problems with some games crashing to desktop, while others work perfectly! :(

Hello!

I Got a new PC back in October wanting to play Alan Wake 2 and other upcoming games of course.
i7 13700F
32GB kingston fury beast
MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti VENTUS 3X E OC
and 2 Kingston M2 NVMe SSD discs. I played Alan Wake 2 well and good with high settings, DLSS frame generation etc for about 6 hours. Then something happened that I still haven't figured out. On the next day the game crashes instantly in the main menu or a few seconds after loading into the game world everytime. Just straight out back to the desktop with no error message or anything.

I am playing gamepass games with no issues for example Forza Horizon & Motorsport, Dead Space Remake, Persona 3 Reload, Assassins Creed Valhalla, Lies of P etc, you get the point. These games never crashed even once with lots of playtime (maybe 50 hours Forza, all the way through Dead Space for example). So it seems after a while the PC decided to only let "Microsoft xbox" games work? I am at a loss. I started to think it was a PSU problem first but I run all these games maxed out with 90/100% GPU load and its not even running high temp or anything. Basically nothing is running hot or at a very high load.

I also tried Bramble the mountain king that I have on epic store and it crashes as well after maybe 15 minutes in, not a very demanding game either so this makes me even more confused of what it could be.

The PC came with Windows 11. I reinstalled and cleaned it all a couple of times, I used DDU to reset my Nvidia drivers a few times, nothing seems to work and I can't for the life of me understand why. Looked around alot online but nothing has changed. I even tried reverting back to Windows 10 but just ran into the same exact problems.

Has anyone heard about weird problems like this before? :O
I would be so happy if this had a solution.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:

include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Where did you source the installer for the game?
