Windows 10: Why do games keep crashing in windows 11?

I can't seem to run any games properly in windows 11. Its a brand new laptop with the following configurationell inspiron 15 3520Intel 12th Gen i7 4.70gHz16GB RAMIntel iRIS Xe GraphicsWindows 11 HomeI've just started getting apps and files onto the computer, and have downloaded two games from my Steam library - Age of Empires 2 Definitive and Sim City 4. AoE2 will allow play for a period, until it slows right down, starts to stutter and then crashes, but with no error message. On rebooting it does exactly the same. I tried Sim City 4 to see if it was a problem with the game or the system

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?

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.

 

Windows 11 Crashing when playing game.

When I said this is a fresh install, it meant that I literally installed Windows 11 to a newly purchased drive. No upgrade from 10 was performed. I don't feel you get the same outcome from upgrading as you do performing a fresh install.

I installed all the drivers from intel right after installing windows 11 because a lot were missing one in particular. Found out that the driver is obsolete and will not be distributed anymore. Can't remember which it was, but it was a feature that got removed.

Should have added this before, but didn't think about it:

Intel drivers are up to date from their site.

sfc scanned in May, but did it again just to cross it off the list.

What kind of specific situation are you wanting to know about? What steps am I taking to receive such a crash?

First game is Division 2:

Open Ubisoft Connect as admin

Navigate to games in Ubisoft and run game

play anywhere from 10-20 minutes and the game will crash Windows 11

The other game that I was having issues with is Before We Leave. Pretty much the same situation.

Open Steam

Go to Library

Run game

Crash roughly 20 minutes later.
