Some days it's fine. Some days it'll crash within a couple of minutes into a 3D game. Doesn't crash on 2D games, i.e. Factorio, Slay the Spire. Sometimes, it will freeze silently until I reset it. Sometimes it freezes with super glitchy audio that hurts my brain. Sometimes it just restarts on its own. I've tried reseating my RAM, GPU, and CPU. I'm pretty sure it's not a heating issue, as I've replaced my thermal paste and all temps seem fine. Hardware monitor show normal temps around 55 degrees Celsius max across both GPU and CPU. I've made sure drivers are updated. I'm not sure what else to do. I've most often experienced crashes with Dark Souls 3, but it's happened in other games. I've tried specific fixes for Dark Souls with no luck.
Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-6300 (6 threads & 6 cores)
RAM: 8GB Ripjaws DDR3 (2x)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB Gigabyte
Drive: 1TB HDD WD Blue
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M (Updated BIOS v. 2101)
OS: 64-bit Windows 10 (Up to date)
Things I’ve tried:
Updating BIOS
Updating GPU drivers
Reseating components
Reapplied thermal paste to CPU heatsink (All temperatures are normal, CPU was initially far too hot, now runs at proper temps)
Changing various in-game settings
Running GPU in debug mode
Verifying game cache
Reinstalling games entirely
