Games crashing frequently despite sufficient PC specs

[ahiuquetzo8]

I've been experiencing frequent crashes with my games lately, occurring after just a few minutes of playing, sometimes even less. Occasionally, the crashes happen after a longer period, but they are consistently happening. My PC specs should be adequate for gaming, so I don’t think that’s the issue.

I have downloaded the Event Viewer logs for application errors and warnings. If needed, I can provide these logs to help diagnose the problem.

Hello ahiuquetzo8, crashes can be caused by a variety of issues even if your specs are good. Here are a few things to check:

1. Drivers: Ensure all your drivers, especially the graphics card drivers, are up to date.
2. Temperatures: Overheating can cause crashes. Use a program like HWMonitor to check your CPU and GPU temperatures.
3. Power Supply: Make sure your PSU is adequate for your system and isn't failing.
4. Event Viewer: Check for any critical errors or warnings that might give more details.
5. Software Conflicts: Disable any unnecessary background applications or overlays.

Posting your Event Viewer logs here might help us pinpoint the issue further.
