Windows 10: Game randomly crashing leads to bluescreen

Hello,I've made topics here before but haven't been able to solve the problem.I somewhat recently got a new laptop around September - in late September to early October I was able to perform a full playthrough of the Elden Ring DLC around 40 hours total, most sessions lasting for a number of hours. In mid October - for seemingly no reason - the game would begin crashing completely out of the blue, with no signs of struggle before the crash. Every time it would crash it would freeze up the entire system - and whether or not I was able to regain control, it would always end with a Windows 10

Games crash randomly, rarely a Bluescreen as well.

Please help me!

My games (mainly Call of Duty) crashes on my new computer and I have no clue on how to fix it or nail down the problem.

CoD usually crashes with the error code 0x0000005C.

Newest Drivers installed, newest version of BIOS installed all possible windows updates installed, no virus on this brand new computer (kaspersky installed but not active when playing). I have checked the RAM for errors with Memtest86 and the windows memory integrity function. No errors found. Sfc /scannow also does not find anything. I have done CPU benchmarks and graphics benchmarks. They usually run stable and the games run smooth until the crash happens. The games usually just freeze and very, very rarely (1 out of 30 times I get a bluescreen).

The computer itselfs seems to run fine outside of games. Programs do not crash and theres no exessive heat when gaming (CPU is watercooled anyways).

I thought that Overclocking might is the problem which is why I am running everything on stock besides the RAM. It is running on the stock XMP 1 setting which is said to be supported by the mainboard producer.

Is there anything else I could do? By the way: I build this computer twice, for me and my wife and it is having the same crashes for both of us. This is the first time that one of my builds isnt running smoothly.

Those are my specs for both PCs:

• Windows 11 Pro 64 bit
  
• Z790 Aero G
  
• I9-13900K
  
• 32GB RAM @7,2 Ghz (G.Skill)
  
• 2x M.2 2TB 980 Samsung
  
• RTX 4080
  

But I am not sure If I made a mistake when choosing the system storage. The motherboard producer (gigabyte) has a list of supported M.2 storage devices. The 980 1TB version is among those, but the 980 2TB version was not listed. Could this be the cause ? The thing is that the system itself seems to run very stable as long as I dont play video games on it. It can run for hours and days doing everything. But games seem to be unstable. Especially CoD where most of the crashing is happening while other games rarely or never crash at all.

My old PCs never did this on CoD. Could this really be the not offically supported 2TB M2 version ? And if its not that ? What else could it be ?

 

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?
