Windows Time (clock) not updating, sometimes going back in time, making games crash and pc not properly shut down

Hello,

I have had a problem with Windows time for a while.

Windows time (the clock), randomly stops updating and sometimes goes back in time.

Example 1 : it is 16:05 but the clock shows 15:57 (didn't update)

Example 2 : the clock shows 16:05 but randomly goes back to 15:46, making my games freeze and crash.

Finally sometimes the PC doesn't shut down properly : the fans and lights are still on despite no input on the monitor. I have to shut it down manually with the button on the psu.

What i've tried to solve the problem :

- change the cmos battery

- update the bios and all the drivers

- switch to windows 11.

- put windows time on automatic in services.

I have looked for this problem online and and found no answer.

Do you have any idea of where the problem could come from and how to solve it?

Thank you.

 

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?
