So I have a weird issue, I have been googling for quite some time now and trying whatever possible but it still happens. The only thing I have yet to do is format and install windows.

My games keep crashing, all with random error codes, sometimes it's an actual game crash but most of the time I think it is my side. The reason I find it hard to pin point is that 1 day I will hardly get a crash then in the evening I might crash 5 times in a game yet during the day maybe 1 or nothing.

Specs are:

i7 2600K (factory speeds)
Zotac 1080 TI Amp Extreme (even tried to downclock and put on debug mode)
16gb RAM
Asus Sabertooth P67 Mobo
Cooler Master 750W R5 - 80 Bronze PSU

Some of the codes I get from crashes can range from: Watchdogs, Livekernel 141 or 142, engine crashes from games.

Games I play that crash are: Apex, PUBG, The Division 2, BF V. Game that don't crash are Shadow of War, Forza 7 Motorsport, Mordhau.

CPU and GPU temps seem fine, PC isn't overheating, tried doing new Nvidia drivers with DDU uninstaller, etc.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
I don't know but I bet that 2600K is crying for help either way. Whilst the Ti does it's job half asleep.

You might want to try loosening your RAM timings (/setting it to stability mode) (not sure what else this setting might go by in BIOS).

Clean install of windows?
Edit: didn’t see you mentioned not doing that yet.

Yeah, I’d start at windows and then start thinking hardware.

RAM.
Random, changing BSO'd are very very often bad RAM. Run memtest for atleast 24hrs, ideally 48hrs to properly test 16GB of RAM. If your RAM is under 2200Mhz + the CPU is at stock, you're bottlenecking the system badly with the 1070Ti.

You can so do a quick check with checkdisk & dism /checkhealth (incl /scanhealth & dism repair) Google will show you the right syntax and order to run Dism.
 
Are you using dsr factors? If you do turn it off.

Yeah, I'm saying up to upgrade the core of the PC.

I see DSR factors was on 2x and 4x. Didn't even know about this setting. Hope this makes a difference, will do Memtest if still have issues then do Windows over. Thanks
 
Necro! Ever got this sorted?
