I’m having a frustrating issue with my PC where it crashes whenever I try to play some newer games like Fortnite or Red Dead Redemption 2. My setup runs Call of Duty at nearly max settings without any problems, though. Here’s my hardware specs: a 22-inch 160hz monitor, Red Dragon wireless mechanical keyboard, Logitech wireless mouse, an RTX 3090 graphics card, AMD Ryzen 9 7900X processor, and 32GB of DDR5 RAM. I also have a Tomahawk B650 motherboard and a fully modular 1200W 80+ Platinum PSU, all fitted in a Thermaltake Tower 900 case. On the software side, I’m running the latest Windows 10 update and have updated drivers for my GPU, but kept the original CPU software. The issue I’m facing is that whenever my games crash, the screen goes black and shows

I know you mentioned you set your settings to low, but it might help to check your GPU temperature and utilization while gaming. Crashes can also happen if your GPU is overheating or not being utilized properly. You can use monitoring software to keep an eye on those stats.
Have you tried lowering the in-game settings? Sometimes reducing the load can help with stability, especially in newer titles that can be more demanding on your hardware. It won’t fix all issues, but it’s worth a shot!
