    PCSPECIALIST Random Crash during Gaming - Happened consistently

    I've downclocked to 3200 MHz and left my PC running while I work on my mac - it's sat on the Apex holding screen which was enough to trigger a crash before. I'll leave it hanging there for a while and see if anything comes up. Will consider an hour without a crash to be an improvement -> 5 hours...

    PCSPECIALIST Random Crash during Gaming - Happened consistently

    Really strange! I wonder if the game puts the RAM under a certain amount of stress or something.... Just to be clear, my RAM is currently downclocked to 3533 which previously solved the issue (see attached screenshot) Nothing has changed in that respect, but I wonder if going down to 3200...

    PCSPECIALIST Random Crash during Gaming - Happened consistently

    Really appreciate your sagely wisdom Ubuysa. In the past with the 4x8GB Sticks error, downclocking from 3600 -> 3533 completely removed the crashing issue. The crashing issue was occurring when the computer was idle. Secondly, the crashing is _only_ happening when I play Apex Legends...

    PCSPECIALIST Random Crash during Gaming - Happened consistently

    Quick update - analysing the crash dump from another crash linked directly to the Apex process, which is a bit of a relief - I was beginning to wonder if this was hardware related.

    Installed, will keep playing for a bit but might need to stop for the night, sleep and the working day calls unfortunately.

    PCSPECIALIST Random Crash during Gaming - Happened consistently

    No, CPU isn't at all overclocked. Too novice/scared for any of that carry on!

    I've been through device manager for my CPU and it says it's all up to date!

    Yep, just uninstalled OneDrive after reading this. I'll keep going with Apex and see what happens!

    PCSPECIALIST Random Crash during Gaming - Happened consistently

    No, no GPU driver updates that I'm aware of. No update that I'm aware of. Only happens when I'm playing Apex, can't go one or two games before a crash. In the past, I've played 20-30 games back to back of Apex without a problem. The reason I'm coming here is because I'm seeing WHEA errors.

    PCSPECIALIST Random Crash during Gaming - Happened consistently

    I've also got no updates needed from Windows, just got to the latest version of that.

    PCSPECIALIST Random Crash during Gaming - Happened consistently

    Just to update: happened again, but this time didn't write a memory.dmp file which is interesting. Monitored CPU and GPU temps - CPU was 38c and GPU was 65c so nothing concerning there. PC goes to black screen and PC restarts. Noticed something consistent in the event viewer: Session "Cloud...

    PCSPECIALIST Random Crash during Gaming - Happened consistently

    Hi Spyder! I've been through the 3600Mhz issue before. DIMMs are downclocked down 3533 and that stopped the issue consistently.

    PCSPECIALIST Random Crash during Gaming - Happened consistently

    Hi guys! PC has been running great until recently. I've been having a little trouble with crashes during gaming. When I crashed, I was playing Apex Legends. The crash doesn't seem to be happening when I don't play Apex. Only observable thing I noticed was that it happens at the end of the game...

    PCSPECIALIST Video and audio editing workstation £1500 ∓ £200

    Hi there! I think this thread would be more appropriate in the ‘check this spec’ section of the forum. Perhaps a mod with some powers can move it for you.

    PCSPECIALIST Asus Prime B460 Plus bios update - boot option

    Just so you’re aware, updating your BIOS can invalidate your warranty with PCS. I’d recommend getting in touch with PCS and letting them know, just to make sure you’re still in warranty.

    PCSPECIALIST Just checking - GPU fan

    If I were you, I’d consider running some stress testing software to confirm. Maybe even lower the RPM on case fans to try and increase the GPU temp. Alternatively, some GPUs have a manual setting that allow you to set the RPM of the fans, regardless of temp. I’d also consider that to make sure...

    PCSPECIALIST FOUR RAM Cards in AMD Build Worries

    Just a heads up - I was having crashing issues and I set my RAM frequency to 3533 (with an AMD Ryzen 5900x, 4x8gb) and it’s been fine ever since. So you might not need to drop all the way down to 3200.

    PCSPECIALIST Coolermaster H500M Front Fan: Rattling on start up and under load

    Understood. The 3090 is a pretty beefy GPU by the looks of things, but like I said, the arm wasn't supporting the GPU anyway so I've just lowered it right down so it's out of the way. Maybe there's a better place for it to live. I'll take a look tonight. Thanks :)
