Crashing (Sometimes it's 100% CPU, and sometimes it's audiodg.exe/dwm.exe)

I crash whenever I play Apex Legends; at first I was on Steam, and it was everytime I loaded into a game my PC would crash. I've since reinstalled onto Origin, and it was going good yesterday. Today, I started crashing again while streaming on OBS. I've tried playing it off-stream too, but I still crash.

I've checked my event viewer, and sometimes I get an issue with audiodg.exe and dwm.exe; I've also checked my Windows Task Manager, and sometimes I get 100% CPU.

For context, my pc parts are the following: Ryzen 5 5600x, Gigabyte B550 Vision D-P, 32GB RAM, Gigabyte RTX 3070.

Thanks!

  • @jaaychung do you have any 3rd party software running in the back such as AV, Discord, Skype etc?

    Could you verify that your GPU is all up-to-date?
  • Hi there, yes I've got Discord in the background and no AV. My GPU is up to date on drivers.
