Question Games crashing to desktop or bsod

[morphumax]

I have several games that when I play will intermittently crash to desktop or cause BSOD. It seems to be more demanding games that lead to crashes. Some of the games that cause me issues are Deep Rock Galactic, 7 days to die, CoD warzone, Hunt Showdown, Halo infinite. A few of the less demanding games that ive played a ton of that never seem to have issues are Rocket League and League of Legends. My computer has been having intermittent issues for a long time now. A few months ago i upgraded from a 1080 to a 3080, but i was having issues before the upgrade. The issues seemingly happen at random, sometimes I'll be fine for days/hours sometimes ill crash in the first half hour.

I have 3 monitors attached to my pc as well as a logitech g402 mouse, a corsair strafe mechanical keyboard, and a hyperx cloud2 usb headset. Believe everything else is listed in the speccy.
I have tried using several different GPU drivers (i cant list the exact ones, but its been an off and on problem for a long time now so its been multiple). I have done a fresh windows install. I am not using XMP on my ram, no overclock and no undervolt on cpu/gpu. The only bios setting that isn't set to default is enabling the igpu so i can have my 3rd monitor running off of it.

I have run memtest86 twice, both runs took about 6 hours and 0 errors were found both times. I just upgraded from a corsair rm650x to a corsair rm1000x and reseated GPU and both ram sticks...7 days to die has crashed since. I played an hour of CoD and it didn't crash but doesn’t mean anything yet.

I have only reinstalled the software i absolutely need, so typically while I am gaming the only other programs ill have running are have discord and chrome.

Welcome to the forum

Great post, thanks for all the info. Until one of our experts drops in, a couple of Qs:

enabling the igpu so i can have my 3rd monitor running off of it

Have you tried disabling that?

discord and chrome

Have you tried without both of those running?

Couple of things I noticed in a quick Speccy scan:

"2047MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080"
Your RTX 3080 is showing only 2GB VRAM. That should be around 10GB, if only 2GB is real, that would cause problems with every demanding game.

"Turn Off Hard Disk after: (On AC Power): 20 min"
Change that to 'Never', see if it helps—maybe it's not 'waking up' properly.

I have tried disabling the igpu and the same issue was occurring.

I have not tried running without at least discord, because thats the only time i play games is if im with friends. I could try a different voicechat app tho. I have tried with no chrome, same issue.

As far as GPU ram goes, not sure why speccy said 2gb, task manager and hwinfo are showing full 10 for me
