My PC sometimes just crashes with some games and does not even run with 50% GPU / CPU / RAM load?

I currently have the problem that when I play Forza Horizon or Rainbow Six Siege, for example, the game sometimes crashes / sometimes the PC crashes too (with other games like GTA, League of Legends, Valorant or CsGo, it actually never crashes) . Now I wanted to play a Minecraft Modpack yesterday, unfortunately I had to find out that I could achieve max.20fps. But my CPU / GPU / RAM was not loaded (ran at max. 10/20% load). All other games mostly run with 120fps or higher even the two where crashed, and today I tried again to play the Modpack (after a driver update of the graphics card). This time I had between 80 and 120fps, but the GPU / CPU / RAM load is only 40% max. Who has an idea what the problem could be?

Hi, try first with older drivers so don't always use the latest ones then you can keep looking

The best thing to do is to do a long-term test of the GPU and CPU.

Above all, you should keep an eye on the load, clock frequency and temperature.

The more data, the faster and more precisely the problem can be found and identified.

Dr

How exactly should I do the long-term test? Are there special programs or just MSI Dragon Center and keep an eye on it from time to time?

AMD has been having problems with its GPU drivers lately. Unfortunately, it is not an isolated case.

There are three possibilities for this:

AIDA64 (Paying)
Let HWinfo run on another screen while playing and record both with OBS.
Graph the data using AMD Adrenalin and Intel XTU.

All this once in idle and under load.

Dr

How do I get an older driver, with AMD everything only runs through your software?

Dr

I tried to create a graph with AMD Adrenalin but somehow I can't do it either (if I have time I'll see that I create a graph). I had now made a driver update. Now I had 700fps instead of 20fps in Minecraft. On that day everything went pretty well, the graphics card was not fully utilized but ran stable (60-70%) utilization, and today I have the problem again that I get a random black screen and the AMD Radeon WattMan setting is reset.
