    @Darkness93_yt Hi mate i think i have a solution, at least for me anyway i got to play a fair few games without any crashing will give it more time to see if it is an actual fix or not but so far so good and i know i would've crashed a few times before doing this.. My GPU has 2 PCI-E slots and i used the single PCI-E cable for the 2 slots on the card, as you can see by the picture the Red line runs from the Green connector and most likely isn't feeding the other slot enough juice when the card needs it which the green line runs direct from the PSU with no break offs so will get the full power, i connected a 2nd PCI-E cable and used the connector on the Green line to plug into the other slot on my card so now i have 2 PCI-E cables connected to both slots that run direct from PSU with no break offs just like the Green line and since doing this Apex has ran great!

    So for the 3090 i'd connect one cable per slot on the card using the Green line in the picture to each slot and tuck the Red line away as that's the break off part we don't need, give that a go and try Apex and hopefully it solves it mate

    @C-Sheldon88 Hey thanks for the advice, but I'm already running on 2 separate PCI-E cables from the PSU and not using the break-off (it's tucked away like in your pic).

    Something else is going on; the issue still only happens with Apex. I've got good traction on the other thread though so I'm seeing what everyone has to say there.

    Thanks C-Sheldon88 It worked from me, no crash anymore after 3 year ☹️((( thank you so much.
    From C-Sheldon88 's comment I used 2 cable GPU 6+2 pin instead of old setup is 1 cable have 2Port Dual 6+2 pin.

    My spec:
    CPU Threadriper 1950x
    GPU MSI GTX 1080Ti
    32G Ram G.Skill 3000Mhz
    PSU Corsair RM1000X

  • More update, I tried to change Performace and Energy in Win10 Setting from "Best performance" to "Best Energy savings". My Apex game no more crash. I don't know why but let try it if it help to you

  • Finally I found some reason, my last comment you can see I changed performance and energy to "Best Energy savings" or try to use 2 cable PCIE for GPU but my PC still shutdown and restart while I'm playing Apex Legend though other tasks is okay.
    I found posts on reddit some one have problem same as me and they told that if your PSU is fine may be PC crashing from your cable Y (PCIE cable for GPU) sometime your cable used long time it will be dirty or rust and it will not supply enough power for GPU.

    So after all I changed:
    - New PCIE cable for GPU and just use only one 6+2 pin cable Y
    - Change other port PCIE connector in PSU (my PSU is corsair RM1000x and I've been using it for 5 years)
    It will be no more crash, hope it help to you
