Hello,

So my friend bought GTA V recently and today it has been crashing on him 3 times. The first one was a game crash, second one forced him to turn his pc off since it was just a black screen and he couldn't do anything and the third one was a normal game crash in the middle of a heist.

His pc specs are:

cpu: amd fx 8xxx (8 core one)
ram: 16 gb ram
gpu: r9 380 2gb

Does anybody know the reason for this?

Also, im asking on his behalf since he doesn't have a tomshardware account and isn't bothered to make one.

thank you

It would also be useful to know what his operating temperatures are at idle and under load, if he is overclocking anything (CPU, GPU, memory), and the make/model of his power supply. Also, have all updates/patches been applied to the game? And, is the problem only with GTA V?

Well he isn't really tech smart so he didn't update his graphics card drivers. So I just walked him through on how to download the drivers.
