hey, i have never made a post on here so bare with me.
i have an issue with, what i think is my cpu. for many years i had an issue with my pc BSOD'ing with WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE ERROR. And for some reason the crash did NOT occur when running a game in the backround, i used forza horizon 3 because it was fast to launch so i could beat my pc to crashing itself. which i found out i could fix this issue by increasing the voltage a tiny bit in the bios just recently.(this was a massive issue for me and very rage enducing so i was over the moon to have finaly found a fix.) i thought all was good until i wanted to play rust. after loading in the game with the new fix applied to my cpu through the bios i was exited to see the fps gain i was going to get from not running 2 games at once. but after 5 mins of gameplay on rust i get a crash that is just a freeze up, no bsod , no auto restart or black screen, just a frozen screen , that i have to hard boot out of. so right now im stuck between having an always bsod crashing cpu with the lower voltage (unless a game always running which lower my framerate on every game) or not be able to play one of my favourite games, but have my pc semi function. it really sucks and i am yet to find a reliable fix. can anyone help me with this insanely complicated issue. it would mean the world to me.
for clarification i know its not an issue with the game rust itself as this crash happens in a select few of other games aswell, such as rainbow 6 and golf with friends is all i have discovered so far.
