Yup I can understand all of what you say.
I am finding that witcher3 not crashing
BG3 crashing with hang, FO4 crashing with hang

When i restrict the power then it does exactly the same thing unfortunately.
I'd no crashes in windows, and no crashes on my old GPU.

Thanks. Like I say, RMA is worth it as others have suggested. But I just hope it doesn't come back as no fault as then it's down into the troubleshooting depths we go. Hope you get it sorted though.

In my shoes, would you do a full install first?

Try a new install windows on a separate hard drive see if that works

Full re-install sounds like a last resort thing.

I would look through the Event Viewer certainly. Record the time of any crashes and that, then take a look and see if there is anything of value in the log.

edit: Just re-reading the last few posts as didn't read the last few posts properly

Just use a spare HDD, fresh install on that. Test it, see if it's ok. Determine the problem

You still have your original HDD OS install which is unaffected (probably good idea to disconnect all drives except the blank HD during install)

A quick look into the error report definitely suggests software

I would look to run

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

and the sfc scan now commands

These won't take you long either (apologies if you have done these already)

After that, follow @hornetstinger ideas


edit: also when searching that particular error, especially re BG3 there are some threads out there about where exactly it has been installed on your machine (it's a Google search so won't post these, it could well be a rabbit hole)

do you have a spare drive always worth installing a new windows to try on that first if an option

Yep those commands are always good idea to run. I do mine every so often even if nothing appears wrong. Probably shouldn't but not had any problems yet.

With the deal of a 9060xt coming later, does anyone know if the shader compilation on every single launch has been fixed on Overwatch 2? Basically for whatever reason on RDNA, overwatch compiles shaders every single time you launch the game, so you either have to sit in training for about 5 min (time varies based on how strong cpu you have) or just play and put up with it stuttering. Stadium mode also seems to stutter a little even after doing that (I guess Stadium has shaders that aren't loaded in training). This has been going on a long time and is frequently complained about by AMD Overwatch players. Here are some of the many topics talking about it.

Performance degradation in first 5 minutes of game launch

I see quite a few posts here and on Reddit regarding this issue without any concrete solution being presented, so figured I’d try to make my own post. Issue: After starting Overwatch 2, I have extremely low FPS for the first 2 to 3 minutes, before it stabilizes and begins running as expected...

These all range from 6 months or so ago to newer. Playing with the experimental/beta dx12 renderer in Overwatch can alleviate it to some extent, but dx12 is beta and has it's own set of issues.

£299 for a Sapphire pulse later is great, but Overwatch is my main multiplayer game, I play it most nights, so I can't be paying £300 to have a worse experiance with it than I have now. So anyone know has it been fixed in a recent driver? or is this just one of those games where for whatever reason it's just better on Nvidia, like COD is just better on AMD.

Thanks.

Thanks guys.
I did a fresh install, thankfully windows seems to remember most of its **** nowadays, so mucked about a bit, and found crash still happening, but.... it seesm if i reduce the power now to 70% then it isn;t crashing, obviously I'll have to test for futher and longer to be sure, but if it is then i'll keep the card and order a new PSU.
I like the seasonic ones, but if people have better suggestions let me know.

spoke too soon, its still crashing even with the power limiter

 

[ljt]

When you reduce the power limit on the card, does it also reduce the transient spikes along with it by the same % ?

It could still be the PSU
