As the title describes, I'm getting a lot of crashes which appears to be the GPU being overloaded in situations where I think it should be fine.
Specs:
-Win 10 OS
- Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 motherboard
-Intel i7 8700k OC @4.4ghz
-Nvidia GTX 1070 (MSI afterburner tells the GPU clock is 1088mhz (+100) and the Memory clock is 4303mhz (+300), with a 120% power limit and temp limit of 92 degrees. I haven't touched these settings at all because I'm not at all familiar with them, and these were the stock settings post assembly)
-16gb (2x8gb) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 RAM
-3tb Toshiba hard disk drive
-Corsair RM650x power supply
CPU and GPU are in an open loop water cooling system. Temperatures never exceed 50 degrees even post crash or long sessions of high usage,
I have two monitors, both 24'', one at 144hz (main) and one at 60hz (secondary), both different brands.
Issues occur on a few games I have played so far, examples include Farcry 5, PUBG, Rainbow 6 siege. It can run these on ultra settings with 100+ fps. These games are quite graphically intensive so crashing while I try and run them at max isn't unheard of.
But my issue is the same happens with FAR less graphically intensive games crashing in exactly the same way, namely Fortnite and TF2. When I look in task manager its always showing the GPU graph running at max or spiking to max just prior to crashing. Fortnite won't even let me unlock past 60fps, if its any higher it will crash in the menu given enough time, or without fail if going into a game. The difference I see is that my GPU runs at about 60% usage when locked to 60fps, and 100% any higher, however I read that having 100% GPU usage isn't a bad thing and should be happening?
I'm still wet behind the ears when it gets down to it, I've been PC gaming for 5-6 years now, most complicated thing I've ever done is fit a new GPU or a heatsink to a CPU. Up until now it was on a significantly less powerful rig. However, my old PC never crashed even when I pushed it past its limits, so I never had issues like this. It could run Fortnite at 120 fps steadily. My question to you is why is my new one crashing even with significantly less challenging workload comparatively, and in some cases, literally?
Thank you for reading my question, this issue has been irritating me ever since I got the thing. Any queries I will try to answer to the best of my ability. This is the most useful information I could think of and it is true to my knowledge, but if you can think of anything else that would be helpful I will provide that too.
