My games keep crashing

nathanael.bredberg · Jan 5, 2018

Okay so long story short, I just replaced some of my components, my CPU, mobo, and RAM. Before this all of my games have always worked very nicely, but just now when I upgraded my PC, pretty much all of my games crash 0-5-10 min into the game. Usually i get no error message, except it saying that the game crashed, but for example, epic games launcher (fortnite) tells me that i have insufficient system files.
Please help me, I don't know what to do, maybe do a full system reboot?

Specs:
RAM: Corsair vengeance 2x4gb ddr4 2666mhz
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB DUAL OC
MOBO: MSI B250
CPU: Intel core i5 7600k 3.8ghz
SSD: Corsair 120gb
HDD: 1 TB
PSU: 500W (Don't know what model)
CPU COOLER: HYPER 212 EVO

Have you tried to go to defrag on windows and analyze? Perhaps that could help.

Did you install fresh window after you replace mobo/CPU?

How old is your power supply and what model is it? It may be failing and can't provide enough power to the video card in games. Even a fairly new power supply can be insufficient. A year ago I upgraded to a GTX 1060 6 GB and had crashes in games. It turned out my year old power supply was not up to the job and replacing it with a better unit totally fixed the problem.
If you run a video benchmark like Heaven does it crash? The program should show you the temperatures while running so you can make sure that nothing is overheating.

nathanael.bredberg :

Yes, you need to install fresh window after replace with new mobo/CPU. It is highly recommended.

I actually don't think that the psu is the problem, it has always been working fine, and it also still worked superb for me when i upgraded to a 1060 6gb, but i don't know, im not a tech pro really, im only 14.

Thank you for answering so quickly, i will install a fresh version of windows as soon as possible, i'll update when i get results!

MERGED QUESTION
Question from nathanael.bredberg : "My games keep crashing"

nathanael.bredberg :

Upgrades like those usually means you reinstall the OS from scratch and then the drivers from the motherbd's & GPU respective websites.
It sounds like you are crashing because the old hardwares' driver's aren't appropriate for the new hardware.

My specs are almost identical, and I am experiencing almost the same issue. My games that once worked flawlessly, now crash after 15-20 min of up time. Did you ever resolve this issue?

Do you also not know the model of your psu?

My power supply is an EVGA 500w (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6ZP3RB4797&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Power+Supplies-_-9SIA6ZP3RB4797&gclid=CjwKCAjwx7DeBRBJEiwA9MeX_O6tnky9BCqMWr2a0coGwl9N-HmDly4eQkjf_QbuB7NXUhtmkjG1ShoCVhcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)
