Hey everyone! I just got a new PC with a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and a Ryzen 7 5600X. After swapping out the original M.2 SSD and installing a PCIe WiFi card, I did a fresh Windows installation via USB. Everything seemed to go well until I started installing games. Most of them, like Tarkov, run smoothly at first but then crash when I aim down sights, which I suspect might be because of using PiP sights. On the other hand, Overwatch 2 and Rainbow Six: Siege crash before I can even launch them, with Overwatch throwing the error "Rendering device lost". I initially thought it might be a GPU issue, but benchmarks show it runs fine. I also tested the RAM with Memtest64 for 20 cycles, and there were no errors, and the issue still happens with XMP both enabled and disabled. I'm really stumped! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, and I'm happy to provide further details if needed!

Have you checked your BIOS version? Sometimes outdated BIOS can cause issues like these, especially with newer hardware. It might be worth a look!
After checking, here's my BIOS version and build date! Do you think I need to update it?
No, I haven't checked that yet! I'll look into how to find my BIOS version now.
