#PC crashes when playing games, mainly overwatch

I did everything that could be done, from updating drivers to reinstalling windows, and stress testing and reseating all components and the CMOS battery. I thought maybe it's the TPM becuase of valorant, but even with the tpm working fine, the crashing still persists. I need help

Please help

#

Been struggling with this for so long

#

Genuinely thinking of us rolling back to an older bios version where it would only crash if I am logged into my father’s account

#

Msi, mobo manufacturer suggested an RMA but I don’t want to wait months to get my mobo back

#

Yes

#

I had reinstalled windows which deleted ow files too

#

And the crash occurred in other games like valorant and cs too

#

So it’s probably not strictly the game

#

But I have noticed now that it only really crashes while playing overwatch even tho my brother has been playing valorant all day

#

How do I check tho

#

Yeah maybe

#

Actually, I should try using 1 stick

#

I don’t have that luxury

#

But if it turns out to be the ram

#

I will just contact support and ask for an advanced RMA

#

I just didn’t think it would be the ram cause I did a prime95 that stresses the ram too

#

Tried that

#

Stopped it after the first pass cause people said it’s useless

#

But even after the first pass completed, no errors were found

#

Constant 57C under 100% load

#

Gpu max temp 83C in hotspot

#

Air cooler

#

I have like 5 fans in the system

#

And 2 fans for the cooler

#

Bunch of airflow

#

The thing is, it suddenly happened like 3 months ago and I rebooted to find that windows had updated by itself

#

Didn’t think much of it

#

But then found the pattern that it crashes when my father is logged in

#

Not psu not stress test of 5 hours went well

#

Maybe motherboard

#

I Even thought it could be tpm

#

But it turns out that even if the tpm is working fine it still crashes

#

Yes

#

It was always windows 11

#

Built it about 1 years and 3 months ago

#

I wish I could

#

But I don’t wanna delete the data really

#

I was planning on doing a clean reinstall

#

But found that the partition thing is kinda hard to deal with so used the recovery tool to reinstall windows only

#

But keep files

#

Ran malwarebytes and Microsoft security tool and no virus came up

#

Mhm

#

Did a system wide scan

#

3 hours of scan and almost 1M files

#

Nothing

#

I might call the pc shop that is near me and see if I can take the pc and they try swapping components

#

I just hope it’s not expensive

#

Although they do advertise free system diagnosis

#

The free diagnosis is just logs and stuff

#

I would pay for proper diagnosis

#

I did literally everything

#

I just wish I could barge in, take up a spot beside the repair dude and try swapping parts, find the problem and pay 5 dollars and be on my merry way

#

I probably have more knowledge than most

#

I just need the money or parts

#

Will ask a friend if he has some parts lying around d

#

Crazy part is it’s only when playing games

#

@nocturne fog i think I isolated the problem to the ram

#

Tried one stick and it worked

#

I will try the other stick later

#

If it works too

#

Then the culprit is dual channel

#

And I know it’s not simply xmp cause I had reset the bios and forgot to turn on xmp and it still crashed

#

With xmp 3200

#

2633 without it

#

How did you fix it?
