Windows 10: PC Crashing with no discernable reason while gaming.

So I mainly play Destiny 2 and my PC has been crashing quite often recently and when I check event viewer, I either get "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." Event ID 41, Task Category 63or"The previous system shutdown at X:XX:XX PM on ‎XX/‎XX/‎2022 was unexpected." Event ID 6008I believe these have some me

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?

 

Some PC games crash for unknown reason

This computer never had any similar problems, and the crashing have started about a week ago. i am really clueless at this point, and i believe i have tried every trick i know to fix the issue, unsuccessfully.
The crash could happen at any point from the execution of the game, to 2 hours after the game is running. the most common timing for a crash is during a loading, in more demanding games (Squad, Escape from Tarkov, war thunder..)

Things i have already tried to do:

1. Updating graphics card drivers

2. Running a memory check on my RAM (no issues were found)

3. restarting, obviously.

4. Checking for high temperature, The GPU is averaging around 55c, and the CPU around 44c.

My specs are:

Intel core i5 4430 processor

Gigabyte B85M-HD3 motherboard

DDR3 8GB 798MHz kingston RAM sticks

Geforce GTX 1060 6GB, zotac AMP! edition

one terra of hard drive, and 250gb of SSD.

games crash on both of them, so i don't believe that they are the cause.

I have owned this computer for at least six years now. i never had the need to replace the whole thing, because i just kept replacing the outdated parts that slowed me down, that's the reason some of my specs are younger than six.

EDIT: escape from tarkov just crashed again, and gave me a crash report. not sure how to analyze these, but it might help some one to gget a brighter picture..
