Question The system BSODs and won't launch games / stuck at loading screens ?

[KunoZz]

Hi !
Recent problem, certain games won't launch, certain will crash my pc, and other stuck at loading screens...
Escape from Tarkov (Heavy game): Constantly crashes my PC into BSOD, sometimes during gameplay, sometimes at the end of loading into a raid (game)
Hunt: Showdown (Medium load game): Sometimes launches, sometimes gets stuck at loading EasyAntiCheat and loops through endlessly
Vampire Survivors (Really light game): Sometimes launches, sometimes stuck at loading menu, sometimes just exits the application

I suspect it could be due to RAM malfunctioning, but the Vampire Survivors one really throws me off here..

Recently downloaded a FitGirl Repack to test out a game and it started right after, scanned my PC with ESET NOD32 Antivirus, updated windows, checked RAM thru Win+R mdsched.exe, updated GPU drivers, nothing seems to fix the problem,
Last resort is formatting the PC but I really can't right now since got a butt ton of files that I still need, and at the moment don't have an external storage unit 🙁

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: Make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

History of heavy gaming use - correct?

Look in Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer for error codes, warnings, and even informational events that occur just before or at the time of the BSOD's.

Uninstall "FitGirl".

And to avoid potential data loss you should be able to back up files online via Microsoft OneDrive. Not a solution that most people want to hear but better than losing needed files.

Especially if the files are all photos, music, etc.. Nothing personal regarding finances, etc....

Win 10 Pro
(Bought start of 2022):
CPU: Intel Core i5-10600KF
GPU: Gainward Geforce RTX 3060 Ghost 12GB GDDR6
Motherboard: MSI Z490-A PRO
RAM: Ballistix DDR4 2x8 GB 3600MHz CL16
Cooling: Silentium PC Fera 5 120mm
Case: Silentium PC Ventum VT2 TG (Stock cooling)
PSU (used): Silentium PC Vera 2 Bronze 600W (Had it for a long time prolly like 4+ years)
Everything worked fine up until now.

PC used for gaming specifically, 8+ hours a day.

Error codes after BSOD:
0x0000013a (0x0000000000000011, 0xffff870a0ee02100, 0xffff870a228b42d0, 0x0000000000000000

Already unistalled, going to keep you updated if the problem still persists.

Going to make do with the files that I need in a bit so no worries.

Thank you sincerely for your time and effort

PSU is a likely suspect.

If you have a multi-meter and know how to use it or know someone who does, the PSU can be tested to some extent.

FYI:

Not a full test because the PSU is not under load. Any voltages out of tolerance would indicate a failing/faltering PSU.

Plus increasing numbers of varying error codes is another indicator of a problematic PSU.

Dont have this kind of tools unfortunately.

Yesterday the problem seems to have calmed down a bit, didnt get a Blue Screen, the game still crashed but it can be because of spaghetti coding, the game is known for it.

Going to format PC cause I need it anyway, if the problem still persists I will change my PSU

Thank you for help and time invested !
