GA-AX370-Gaming K5 Motherboard (I've also used another board, not sure of the name, but it's the one that my friend uses with no crashes)Īny help is much appreciated, and as I said I'm upgrading GPU this Christmas anyway - probably a 1060, but it'll depend on how much I have. Unknown 500 W PSU that I got from a friend - he uses the same model with a more demanding PC and it works fine.

MSI Geforce GTX 960 2GB (not amazing, I know, but still shouldn't be crashing like this) Plugging GPU into different port on motherboard Monitoring temperatures (never gets above 50 C) Completely removing all graphics drivers and updating to newest ones Replace Motherboard / RAM / CPU / PSU / Fans (and combinations thereof) Using Different Port - VGA and HDMI, etc I play at 1080p (I've tried windowed, false fullscreen and fullscreen, as well as 720p and weirder resolutions on different monitors / tvs). Other games where crashes have happened include Rimworld, modded Skyrim Special Edition, Dishonored 2 and Divinity Original Sin 2. This is incredibly undemanding on the GPU, instead being CPU intensive, so it wouldn't be too odd, but games on the same engine (Europa Universalis IV, Hearts of Iron IV, Victoria II and Stellaris) have all had crashing problems. The only other game I've not had problems with is Crusader Kings II. Strangely enough, I've never had crashes playing Hitman despite it being quite demanding (at least for my PC).

Additionally, while browsing YouTube it is common for my screen to black out for a second and for the sound to pause, requiring me to refresh. These freezes and crashes seem to be interchangeable, though as of late the freezes have become more common. Sometimes, even while just watching YouTube, I'll get a video scheduler internal error blue screen.Īt this point I've pretty much confirmed that it's the graphics card, but I'm looking to see if anyone has alternate solutions or perhaps ways to make playing games more bearable until I can get a replacement at Christmas. I've been using my gaming PC for about two years now, and within the past few months it has begun to freeze during gameplay - not the computer itself, but the games.
