I've recently built a PC and it's been working pretty well overall. However, I bought a Logitech G920 wheel setup and downloaded F1 25 from EA PLAY and Forza from Game Pass. Unfortunately, every time I launch either game, my PC crashes a few minutes into the loading screens and restarts. I initially thought it was a software issue, so I tried repairing and then reinstalling F1 25, but that didn't help. I faced the same problem with Forza. I've already updated all drivers, closed background applications, and used the HDMI cable that came with my monitor, but nothing seems to fix it. Here are my specs: Msi MAG 272FB e20 200hz monitor, GeForce RTX 3060, Ryzen 5 5600 6 core, MPG B550 Gaming Plus, Logitech G920, and I'm running Windows 11 Pro. I'm still a bit of a newbie, so any guidance would be much appreciated!

Just out of curiosity, how much RAM do you have in your system? More RAM can significantly improve gaming performance, and if you're running something like 8GB, that could be part of the issue.
In your case, I see you have 32GB, so that's solid! Just wanted to make sure.
Consider reinstalling your graphics drivers. Sometimes, the latest drivers don’t play well with certain games. Try downloading driver version 591.86 from the NVIDIA website and see if that fixes the crashing issue. Newer drivers can be hit or miss, so rolling back to a previous version can resolve crashes in some cases!
It sounds like you may have several potential issues at play here. First, try booting the games without the G920 wheel connected to see if that changes anything. Logitech drivers can be tricky; sometimes, using a tool like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to get rid of them completely helps with stability. Also, look into the Windows Event Viewer to check for any critical errors that might give you more insights into why the crash is happening.
Lastly, pay attention to your temperatures and power supply. Loading screens can put a heavy load on your GPU and CPU, so if temperatures soar or if your PSU isn’t providing enough power, it could lead to a crash. Hope this helps!
Yeah, I've got 32GB of RAM. It's been working great for me apart from this issue.
