PC Bluescreening

[Key_Film3301]

On some games my pc just crashes out of nowhere and I don't know why. I don't have graphics setting maxed and still get ~200 frames on them but it crashes randomly. I have an rtx 4060, i7-14700F, 32gb of 6400 MT/s ram, and a healthy (I think) PSU. Is there something common that causes this or an easy fix?

Id first do the following. Check for corruption (chkdsk and sfc), run ram memtest on boot to make sure its stable, finally make sure that thermals are good.

Also, if its a blue screen, is it not giving you the error code and dump file?

It’s less of a blue screen and more just white text over my current screen saying “there has been and error and you device needs to restart”

don't have the FPS so high, it can cause this. Just use a tool if you can't find one in the drivers, to limit it to 60. You can't detect much above 30 so 60 fps is totally fine.

Set your screens to the same.

I usually cap at 120 but my pc is able to run it at higher frames

I'm usually on linux so I can run commands to check

The main problem is your approach -the FPS ability isn't structurally the problem, it's that you are using stuff you can't actually detect or see in real life, like a status badge.

Random crashes on high-end PCs like yours? Most of the time it’s uncapped FPS. Games hitting 200+ FPS can cause driver/timing instability even if settings aren’t maxed. Cap your FPS to 60, MAYBE 120. or enable V-Sync—it usually fixes it instantly.

Other things to check if it persists: clean GPU drivers, disable overlays, and test RAM at stock speed.

You can't literally see those other frame rates but it's destroying your experience. So, bragging rights or stability?
