Why is my new GPU crashing during certain games?

Asked By GamerDude42 On

I recently got a Gigabyte RTX 5070 Eagle Ice SFF OC, and I'm having issues where my PC crashes while playing Rainbow Six Siege and Finals. Interestingly, it runs other demanding games like Doom: The Dark Ages, Cyberpunk, GTFO, and Monster Hunter World without any problems. I even tested PUBG, and that worked too. I've tried using DDU multiple times, rolled back drivers, and even changed out my old PSU, but nothing seems to help. My PC specs are: CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 5700x, Motherboard - B450 Tomahawk Max II, GPU - Gigabyte RTX 5070 Eagle Ice SFF OC, RAM - 4 sticks of 16GB Corsair, and PSU - RM850x Corsair. If anyone has suggestions, I'd really appreciate it!

It sounds like your GPU might not be the main issue since it runs other games without crashing. One thing to consider is if you have XMP or EXPO enabled on your RAM—turning that off and running at stock speeds can help. Also, having four sticks of RAM can sometimes introduce instability compared to using just two. Might be worth trying that!

Thanks for the tip! Do you think two sticks would perform better overall?
