Games randomly shutting down

Hi,

Trying to diagnose an issue with my PC, every now and then games will randomly close down without any error message it will just close and then i can reboot it back up fine, could this be a memory issue? i've attached an image but i'll be honest i have no clue what i'm looking at, does reverything in the image look ok or do i need to change something?

You're only showing the SPD value, which is just information about the memory. The tab to the left (memory) will show the current settings that are in use. If you're having CTDs (crash to desktop) in multiple games then I would do what teenwolf suggests to eliminate any possible software issues. Logical software errors will just exit from the game like you have described. Faulty memory can eventually corrupt everything that goes through it and not just CTD from games, so memory is less likely the cause if limited to these specific issues. You'd most likely see a BSOD by now.

When i think back, it has only started happening since i upgraded to windows 11, but i have also installed another 16GB RAM aswell, could be both?

Take out the extra 16gb you installed and see if the problems continue.

Will try this

Try removing the overclock and see if you're still getting the CTDs.

Will try this
