PC Crashing during gaming

[dazb40]

Hi All

Sorry I'm sure this has been covered a lot somewhere. My PC has performed faultlessly for 2 years now. I'm just a casual gamer and not that PC Savvy when it comes to Bios etc.
However recently my PC has started to crash almost instantly when playing PUBG or Scum.
I have tried rolling back to a previous driver
Putting into Debug mode in Nvidia settings
all the basics stuff. But nothing is working at all. Same result every time just freezes after a minute or 2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated I have been at it for 2 days and got no where
If it was a hardware issue what warranty is on the cards? I have just gone over the year
Thanks all

Reinstall windows. I do it every few months, takes no time at all with an SSD and will very likely sort the issue. If you have updated windows 10 to the latest terrible update, that is probably to blame.

Does it only do it when gaming or does the pc shut off after a 1 or 2 mins of web browsing?

What do you mean exactly with crashing? Does it simply shut down? Exit the game to Windows?

And did you check the event viewer for any obvious errors related to this "crashing" event?

What drivers are you using?

For me the latest two drivers cause blue screens and stuttering. Just installed Forza Horizon 4 and got a blue screen within 5 mins and this is supposed to be the game ready driver.

Thanks all for the replys
Its all fine until I play a game and my GPU gets up to 100% then the screen just freezes and after a few minutes I get a process fail message or GPU error 111 depending on which game I have going.
Web browsing is totally fine.
Has never been an issue before but I do update everything when prompted to do so
Windows and Nvidia drivers.
I will try a fresh install of Windows for now.
Overclockers have agreed to look at my graphics card should I need to send it in. Thanks again

It can be a lot of things, for me personally the main cause of gaming crashes has been a faulty ssd/hdd.

Are you using 2x seperate cables to power the gfx card ?
