Various PC games crashes on my PC

[j.o.s.h.1408]

Hi.

i recently discovered that many of the pc games installed on my computer either crashes after it loads or after playing for about 20-30mins.

I first noticed this happening when i bought the Division a week ago and thought it was just the game that had issues.

I disabled the uplay and steam overlay and uninstalled nvidia experience to try and fix the issue on division but it still would crash at random times(longest it has not crashed is an hour of gameplay)

Today i got fed up with division and tried on Battlefield 1. Again same issue?!?!

Battlefield 1 was running perfectly fine only 3-4 weeks ago??!?!?!

I then tried GTA5 and PCARS and yes again they both crash?

I then downloaded and installed a utility that completely removes graphics drivers and tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers again and still no joy, all my games seem to crash?

I remembered that win 10 recently had a big update diddnt it? Could this be the problem?

Here is my full specs:

• Windows 10 OS
• 64GB DDR4 Ram
• intel i7 5820K @3.2GHZ
• 2x Nvidia 980gtx in sli mode

Cheers in advance

run a torture test in prime95, and find out if its your CPU without central heating being enough, the 5820K is unstable and has cold boot problems, which you can find on google

Overheating or not enough power are the most likely causes.

Have you got Overwolf (the overlay thingy) that ships with teamspeak installed at all? I had all sorts of issues until i uninstalled that, it had snuck in when i updated teamspeak.

I had this problem a while back it turned out that the kettle cable wasn't plugged into my psu all the way. Check that and pcie cables and etc.

What? Back to posting nonsense?

With regards to the 5820K being unstable at cold boots, the only references I can find to that, are when people have been overclocking....

When you say it crashes, does it crash to desktop or does it just hang?

You could try removing one of the GPU's (ties in with dashers answer with regards to power)
