Hey everyone! My partner has built his own PC, and he's been having trouble while playing a game called Sons of the Forest. The game crashes after about an hour, especially during rain effects. Just so you know, he played Elden Ring without any problems at all. I'm not super tech-savvy or a gamer, so I'm not really sure what to look for. I didn't want to come across as too obvious since I'm hoping to surprise him with a gift. Any insights would be super helpful!

Has your partner overclocked the GPU? Sometimes it can run smoothly for a while, but just one graphic-heavy scene can trigger a crash. If he has, that could be the culprit!
First off, make sure the graphics drivers are up to date. Since it’s not crashing constantly, the GPU should be fine. Just a little check on the drivers could help!
It might be worth checking the temperatures of both the CPU and GPU. If either of them is overheating, it could lead to crashes. Just a thought!
Thanks for the tip! If he did overclock it, does that mean it needs replacing? Also, do you have any recommendations for a good GPU I could consider looking into?
