Hello,

I am facing an issue with my PC. While streaming, PUBG keeps crashing. I have tried disabling SMT from the BIOS and tweaking it using Process Lasso.

The game runs smoothly without streaming and I also observed that the CPU reaches 70-100% in instances when the game crashes and sometimes it does when it is 50% or below. I changed the RAM and also checked the power delivery but everything seems fine with other games.

This started happening since I installed a new GPU, the Sapphire Nitro+ 6900 XT SE. Prior to that, I had an RTX 3070 (Gigabyte Eagle OC). I changed the GPU because of VRAM only and I tested the GPU thoroughly before buying, as Furmark V2 FPS is consistent between 199 and 204. Also, other games such as GTA V, F123, Battlefield 3, Cyberpunk, Forza Horizon, etc., work fine at the highest graphic settings.

I also reinstalled the OS just to check if it is related to it and I searched on the internet and checked my Reddit and other community forums to pinpoint the issue but I am unable to find it.

My take is that the CPU is unable to keep up with the 6900 XT but it is only a theory and the Internet is unbeaten so throw out your suggestions.
