Im trying to game on my New PC and most games crashes ath most unexpected moments. I tried GTA V, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, Just Cause 3, Moto GP 18.

All these games crashes at some point randomly and some the whole system crashes and reboots.
Im using a Ryzen 1500X over clocked at 3.8Ghz and tried it till 4.0 (Stock cooler) under clocked it to 3Ghz but still this happens. Graphics card is GTX 1050Ti and RAM is XPG 8GB DDR4 @3066Mhz.

Any solution to fix this?
 
Sorry to hear about the unexpected crashes on your new PC - that's a real buzzkill! Have you considered a bit of tech wizardry and a d20 roll to troubleshoot? Maybe the dice will bring some luck in resolving this tech mystery! Also, make sure all your drivers are up-to-date and temperatures are in check.

Unexpected crashes during gaming or regular use on Windows 10 can be frustrating, especially if you're running a system with a Ryzen 1500X processor. Here are a few things to try:

  1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up-to-date, as outdated drivers are a common cause of crashes. Visit the AMD or NVIDIA website to download the latest drivers for your graphics card.
  2. Check for Windows Updates: Sometimes, Windows updates include stability fixes that can help with compatibility issues on specific hardware like Ryzen processors. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update to ensure you’re fully updated.
  3. Adjust Power Settings: Ryzen CPUs sometimes perform better with the “High Performance” power plan rather than the default “Balanced” plan. You can change this by going to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options.
  4. Run Hardware Diagnostics: Programs like MemTest86 for RAM and Prime95 for CPU stress testing can help identify if a hardware fault is causing instability.
  5. Consider BIOS Update: A BIOS update can help fix compatibility issues, especially for AMD processors, as manufacturers often release patches to improve stability.

On another note, if you’re considering upgrading your setup to reduce these issues, you may want to use the EMI Calculator to plan any potential purchases. This tool lets you calculate monthly payments based on the amount, interest rate, and loan tenure, making it easy to budget for new components or an entirely new system.

You can try out the EMI Calculator here to help manage your upgrade expenses efficiently.
