I just bought a new PC, and I've been facing a frustrating issue when playing games like Rust and Fortnite. After about 30 minutes, my screen gives me a message saying 'Your device ran into a problem and needs to be restarted.' However, Roblox runs perfectly, so I'm not sure what's going on. I've updated all my drivers and tried various troubleshooting steps in Steam and the games themselves, but nothing seems to work. If you need more details about my PC or anything else, just let me know; I'm still getting the hang of this PC stuff!

Hmm, since you're gaming on a new PC, it's crucial to know the specs. Can you share what CPU and GPU you're using? Sometimes, the hardware configuration can lead to issues with certain games. If you have an Intel i5-4590 and an NVIDIA GTX 1050, make sure that your graphics drivers are fully updated. Also, check if there are any overheating issues; sometimes, thermal throttling can lead to sudden crashes during gameplay.
I feel you, getting a new PC and having problems can be really frustrating! If you can, try running those games while keeping an eye on your task manager to see if any resource is maxing out. It could help pinpoint whether it's a hardware problem or a software one. Also, running games in lower settings for a while might help you test stability without crashing.
First things first, we need to check if there are any crash logs from those BSODs. If you can access Windows normally or through Safe Mode, look in the C:WindowsMinidump folder for dump files. These files are essential for diagnosing what’s going wrong. If you find any, you can zip them up and upload them to a site like catbox.moe or mediafire.com. Make sure you gather multiple dump files if possible! Also, check out this guide to ensure your settings are correct for creating these dump files: [Link to guide].
