Hi,
Recently I've had lots of crashes playing Dark Souls 3 and Skryrim Special edition without mod. I've monitored temps, tried different drivers, checked gpu usage (in CAM and Afterburner)
Dark Souls 3 seems to max out my VRAM, but it doesnt make a difference when I lower everything and lower VRAM usage, but when I use geforce experience and try their recommanded setting it's an instant crash while loading the game. Even so, Skyrim doesn't max it out and still makes it crash.
I get either a no signal message or an out of range message on my monitor. I'm starting to believe it might be the PSU, but I'm not sure how to test if that's the case. Not to mention I had two random crashes of the same sort while using my Elgato hd60pro and just by browsing and torrenting for a long time.
Sometime, when it's skyrim, I can get to task manager fast enough for my computer to not crash, but with Dark Souls 3 I'm not able. I tried different games, but they don't crash as easily, not in the 5-10 min time frame of the other.


My spec are
Win 10 64bit
i7-4790K
MSI GTX 960 2GB
Z97-G45 Gamain mobo
Corsair CX 500m PSu
2x4gb ram
