@CorndogCrusader Thank you. The good news is your system is above minimum specs! Just to reiterate, if you have two drives - SSD/HDD make sure it is installed to the SSD.
Here are the errors I pulled directly from the DxDiag file. Below are the steps I would take.
- Display Driver Issues:
- AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX shows some instances of potential driver instability.
- Errors may occur when handling high-intensity graphical tasks.
- Sound Device Driver Issues:
- Realtek Audio and AMD High Definition Audio Devices use older drivers, which may lead to compatibility issues.
- Low Free Storage Space:
- Only 82.7 GB of free space is available on the primary SSD, which might be insufficient for long-term system stability if updates or temporary game files consume additional space.
- General USB Device Issues:
- Several connected USB devices show warnings, possibly due to driver conflicts or insufficient power.
- Troubleshooting Steps
Display Driver Instability
- Update AMD GPU Drivers:
- Visit the AMD Driver Support page and download the latest drivers for the Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
- Use the "Factory Reset" option during installation to ensure a clean update.
- Check for GPU Overheating:
- Use monitoring software like MSI Afterburner or AMD Adrenalin to track GPU temperatures during gameplay.
- Ensure proper airflow and cooling.
- Adjust Game Graphics Settings:
- Reduce graphics-intensive features like ray tracing or ultra textures in Dead Space to prevent crashes.
Sound Device Driver Issues
- Update Realtek Audio Drivers:
- Visit the motherboard manufacturer's support page (Gigabyte Technology) to download the latest Realtek drivers compatible with your system.
- Update AMD High Definition Audio Drivers:
- Ensure these drivers are updated alongside the GPU drivers via AMD Adrenalin.
Low Free Storage Space
- Free Up Disk Space:
- Uninstall unused applications and delete unnecessary files.
- Use the Disk Cleanup tool in Windows:
- Open the Start Menu, type Disk Cleanup, and select the primary drive.
- Move or Archive Files:
- Transfer large files (e.g., videos, backups) to an external drive or cloud storage.
USB Device Errors
- Update USB Drivers:
- Open Device Manager, locate USB controllers and update their drivers.
- Visit the motherboard manufacturer’s website for updated USB controller drivers.
- Disconnect Unused Devices:
- Unplug devices that are not in active use to reduce conflicts.
- Check Power Supply:
- Ensure the PSU provides sufficient power for all connected devices. The RX 7900 XTX is power-intensive, and USB instability could signal borderline PSU capacity.
My drivers are completely up to date, my graphics card isn't even close to overheating. I doubt that having only 80 GB free would be causing it. If it was, then that's not my fault, that's the developer's fault. My power supply is a 1000w, I highly doubt it's anywhere near at the max, even if I had the most power-hungry CPU on Earth. It COULD be the graphics settings but I honestly kind of doubt that. I could try unplugging everything that isn't in use when playing, that could be the issue. It's the only thing that directly relates to controls.
