So strange problem.
Most UE4 games hard crash my PC, where am forced to hold down the power switch to restart the computer while the fans scream like crazy, the major games are in this order, Back 4 Blood, Project Wingman, Aliens Fireteam and Space Hulk - Deathwing
Other UE4 games like Foxhole (engine is hacked to bits by the devs), Squad and Life is Strange won't crash my PC.
All other none UE4 games won't crash, they run fine.
I found a work-around to get them working. This is how I do it, I start Foxhole, play for a bit of time and than start above games and than close Foxhole. I also had Epic Games Launcher installed at one point where I would run too to help fix the issue as I read others have the same problem. This doesn't always work, but it's the only way I found out, recently, I learned that this works much better as long as I start one of the above games while one of the others is running.
It wasn't always like this, the issue first started with Back 4 Blood than Project Wingman and Aliens Fireteam started to get the same problem.
I'm pretty much left with two options now, return my motherboard bundle and PSU back to the retailer for them to test it as it's still under warranty or buy a new expensive GPU with no guarantee that it fix my issue.
I don't see how it's a hardware issue thu, since once these games are running, I can play them fine, it seems more like some sort of problem with UE4 and a game like Foxhole which runs the same engine while heavy edited, must have a file or something that the other games need to start.
