Windows 10: Computer keeps crashing/BSOD while playing newer games.

Hello,My computer crashes every time I try to player newer/larger games and I don't understand why. I get the BSOD and just checked the event logs to see what caused the issue and got no further clarity.I've tried to reinstall Windows 10 to fix this issue before and it didn't help. I am unsure if this is an issue with Windows or perhaps the hardware I am using. I have a computer I built in 2019 with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER and an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor with 32 GB of RAM. Considering that I am seeing a blue screen of death, I would like to try and see what I can do to fix w

BSOD When playing games

Hi Jackson,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

Please share the information requested below:

• Does the BSOD occur while playing a particular game?
• Is the game downloaded from Windows Store?

I suggest you to update the Graphic Card drivers by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key + X, select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapters.
• Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to update.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

My computer consistently crashes when playing newer Steam games

Hello. I am trying to play Steam games on my computer, but I find that after playing certain games (newer, more graphically-intensive games) crash anywhere between 5 minutes to an hour or two. They all give me different crash messages every time (driver_overran_stack_based_buffer,
IRQL not greater or equal to, etc.). I ran tests through console commands and Windows Memory Diagnostics, but nothing bad came back. I checked my drivers and updated as many as I could, and downloaded the latest updates from Windows. Just short of wiping the
whole thing clean (which may not resolve the issue still), I tried everything. And it ONLY crashes when I try to play newer Steam games.

This has been going on for a month now and is incredibly frustrating. If you have any questions free to ask.
