    PC crashes within a few minutes of opening a game.


    Over the past few weeks, my PC has been crashing a few minutes into playing games.Everything works as usual, but when I open a game, within a couple of minutes my PC crashes. First, the signal stops going to the monitor, then every application crashes and then it stays like that, following which I force restart.I know it is not a hardware issue as I use other programs which are resource intensive and nothing happens.The latest occurence of this crash was today , 12th May 2023 - 17:51:20 IST , while I was playing a game.In the event viewer, as soon as I rebooted, I saw no errors logged, befor

    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?

    PC crashes within a few minutes of opening a game.

    Game crashing all the time / PC freezes sometimes

    Since about a month I have the problem that a game (Grand Theft Auto V) is crashing all the time. Sometimes the complete PC freezes too so that it displays the old image e.g. a few minutes ago (completely unresponsive, only restarting the PC helps). The time is not predictable, when it crashes. At one time it crashes after five minutes, another time it crashes after half an hour. But one thing is sure - it will crash.

    I have contacted the Rockstar Support and they say they can't help me anymore. Things I did asked by the Rockstar Support:

    • reinstalled the game and Social Club multiple times
    • deleted game files in AppData/Local/Rockstar Games/GTA V and Documents\Rockstar Games\Social Club
    • deleted C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V\GTAVLauncher.exe and restored via Steam option Verify integrity of game files
    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and sfc /scannow multiple times
    • uninstalled another app, which should be responsible for network timeouts/blocking
    • switching to story mode/second character
    • submitted the export of msinfo32 including crash reports to the support
    • changed firewall settings

    Things I tried myself:

    • played in Safe Mode
    • changed graphics settings
    • removed OC
    • updated to latest Nvidia driver (436.15)
    • updated Windows 10
    • checked the event log, but there is no entry
    • executed memtest86 without problems
    • made a stress test with FurMark without problems

    I don't have expierenced similar problems in other games/apps.

    System configuration:

    • i5-6600K
    • 16 GB RAM
    • Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

    Temperature is always OK.

    Launcher.log from GTA V writes something like:

    How can I find the cause of this error?
