Unresolved crashes

Technical Support
1

First off. It’s extremely annoying that I can’t post links or reply more than once on a post, it makes updating people incredibly hard so i’ll put it all in one place.

So: I have a new PC. It has been crashing relentlessly whilst playing overwatch.

When does it crash: Only DURING games. It will never crash at the menu or whilst loading up the game.

What have I done to try and fix this:

  1. Update all my drivers - including uninstalling all NVidia drivers using DDU and then reinstalling them
  2. Disable the NVidia Ansel feature and all other overlays
  3. Edit the processor power usage to min: 99%, max 99%, as seen on a youtube video
  4. Windows memory diagnostic - no problem found
  5. Update my BIOS
  6. Repair overwatch files
  7. Reinstall the game
  8. Have nothing running in the background
  9. Disabling simultaneous multithreading

I don’t understand what could be the reason for crashes ONLY occurring during overwatch games. Never whilst browsing, never on fortnite or any other game. Sometimes I can go 7/8 games before a crash, sometimes it crashes 5 minutes into the first game.

I have: Ryzen 5 1600, 1050ti, 8GB RAM

Memory dumps:

Please help me. I honestly don’t know what else to do :frowning:

  • CheckUpdates : set to 0 to disable the new version checker at startup. 1 to enable.

Parameters

-txt=filename : Launch CPU-Z in ghost mode (no interface appears) and generates the register dump file (.txt)
in the same directory as the exe file.
