Cyberpunk and BG3 all crash on repeat for me now, shortly after starting.
Even Overwatch seems to crash (though less often).
I don't see other people complaining and I suspect something with my system....
But.. I ran Memory Diagnostic: nothing found. DxDiag: not sure how to read it, but seems fine.
Looking at Event Viewer, the error info is unhelpful.
The only thing I know that is kind of strange with my system, and makes me slightly nervous, is if I use the power button to stop it, I can't start it for like 5 minutes.. if I try it glow briefly, start the fan and then stops. Looks like static electricity issue.. but no idea what to do about it or whether it is releated. I have this problem from day 1 (in April) but the game crashed only started this weekend... :/
I recently updated the NVidia driver, currently with latest 537.42, no one else seems to report that... :/

Hey,
Go setup a user-mode dump. Then start your application, let it crash and we can read the dump in WinDbg to try and determine the cause.
Edit: Use 0x00000121 as the CustomDumpFlag

Great idea, on it!

Use 0x00000121 and don't do a full dump. Mini is fine.

Dumps are fine when it's a software issue, but for hardware oddities they generally don't tell you much.
Do you have an oscilloscope or multimeter? I'd start by looking at the simple stuff like PSU voltages. If it's all fine until you start a graphics intensive game, it's quite possible that the PSU can't keep up with the load and voltages are dropping out.
What GPU card are you running, how many watts is it rated at, and what's the PSU rated at? I like to run with at least a 25% margin on the PSU - so if my processor, drives, and GPU are rated to need max 400W, I'll get a 500 or 550 watt PSU.

The 4080 is a power hungry card, but the recommended specs are for a 750w PSU and you have 1Kw so you should be fine, even with a top end processor and several big HDDs.
But if the problem is getting worse it's unlikely to be software. Does anything else that uses significant GPU die, or do they work? If nothing else that tests your card fails, at least you can pretty much eliminate that ... which would be nice, given the cost of those things!
Have you tried something like this: Open Hardware Monitor - Core temp, fan speed and voltages in a free software gadget[^] - it can monitor voltages, temperatures, etc while your game is running which might help to eliminate problems.

Only used NVIDIA performance overlay.
I dunno waht to look for, but as far as I can tell, temperature and memory usage are fine...
Gotta look at that thing you suggested!

Looks like the MSI PRO X790-A doesn't report voltages (or OHM can't get them for some reason), which is a pity.
It does for me: 2023-09-24-OHMGriff hosted at ImgBB — ImgBB[^]
Sorry, but I'm out of ideas from this distance!
Good luck. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

I have a license of SnagIt already, and plan to try some free screen shot software.
Any experience or recommendations?
thanks a million

With any particular features? Windows can take screenshots already, including of only the current window (alt + printscreen), and it has the snipping tool for arbitrary rectangles etc
