I've upgraded my PC recently, specifically from an RTX 3060 with a single 1080p monitor to an RTX 4070 Super with a dual monitor setup (one 1440p and one old 1080p). Now, I'm dealing with crashes mostly in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and I get a DirectX error every hour or so. I also noticed a crash in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. My setup includes an MSI x570 Tomahawk motherboard, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and I just added a Samsung 990 PRO SSD. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm looking for help on whether my motherboard or CPU could be causing these issues or if I need to upgrade anything else.

I've read that Windows versions can sometimes play a role in crashes. Are you running Windows 11? If so, what version are you on? Some folks reported issues with newer versions causing crashes, and rolling back might help, but I get that it's a hassle to reinstall everything. Also, using your old GPU for the 1080p monitor while keeping the new one for gaming could be a solution worth exploring—to see if it stabilizes your setup.
First off, make sure your GPU drivers are fresh! A clean install of the latest drivers might just solve your crashing woes. Sometimes newer games have hiccups with new hardware or drivers, but updates usually fix that. Also, check your motherboard's chipset drivers, just to be thorough. There's a chance it could also be a Call of Duty issue or something with NVIDIA drivers that hasn't been fixed yet, as I've had my own battles with DirectX crashes before. Hang in there, you're not alone with these troubles!
When was the last time you did a clean reinstall of Windows? If it's been a while since you built the PC, it might be worth doing a fresh install, just to clear out any software conflicts. I know it's a pain, but sometimes that can really help with performance and stability.
