Second time posting this, first got deleted for whatever reason.
Been having an issue since full launch of the game freezing my entire PC causing me to hold the power button to reset. I am able to play 1-3 games before the game crashes to desktop or goes black screen and then proceeds to freeze every other app on my PC to the point of CTRL+ALT+DEL not working to force stop everything.
The issue:
Sometime when in game, the gun model disappears for a while, or the player model disappears, or I lose audio, or any combination of the three. That's when I know I have 5-10min before a full computer crash. I have all setting set to low or turned off, no in-game overlays, and had it set to both full screen and full screen borderless to no avail.
The solutions have tried:
- Reset everything, pulling the plug on the power supply overnight
- Reseated and re-thermal pasted my CUP and cooler, deep clean all other components
- Flashed BIOS to the latest version, F39j on a X570 Aorus Master mobo (v1.2). This gave me the longest time with no crash for about 3hrs.
- Updated GeForce graphics drivers (581.42) and reinstalled them too
- Latest Win11 updates installed
- Latest AMD chip set driver installed
- Updating virtual memory via this method: advanced system settings > performance settings > advanced > virtual memory > change and setting both the initial size and the maximum size to 30000
- Cleared DirectX shaders and reinstalled per the following steps:
- Check DirectX Shader Cache
- Press OK
- Go to nVidia Control Panel
- Set Shader Cache Size to "Disabled"
- Reboot your PC (! this is important)
- Set Shader Cache Size to 100GB
- Uninstalled/re-installed the game and numerous Verified Integrity of Game Files on Steam
- Scoured other forums for any potential solutions but can't find this exact issue of the entire PC freezing as well
My PC and game details:
- Win11 Pro
- AMD Ryzen 7 5800X running at 3.80 GHz
- NVIDIA RTX 3080 FE
- 64GB DDR4 RAM running at 2666 MT/s
- Boot drive and game file drive are both Samsung 970 NVME
- Game running on Steam (tried to run as admin but that caused it to crash the quickest)
