Nearly every game I play just closes and goes back to desktop sometimes even in just the menu. This was happening on my 3080 ti for weeks and now on a 4080 and with different drivers. The pc benchmarks fine and system memory tested fine if that matters.


I do not know if this will help but here is the event viewer info for RE Village that just happened.

This might sound crazy but try using a different mouse and keyboard and uninstall any of their software. I had an issue with Razor devices back when DOOM came out, it kept crashing, turns out it was the Mouse / Keyboard software that was causing it.
 
I am not using any mouse or keyboard software. I tried running RE Village even without Afterburner and this time the game froze up after a few minutes and I had to control alt delete to get out and it got the official RE crash report window. With Metro Exodus and The Callisto Protocol I usually get the crash report window too.
 
you always blame the games but it looks like you're finally realizing that it's your system...as you always say to everyone else: Google it and do your own research

This is something that started a few weeks ago on this new pc. The previous pc had no issues at all. None of the issues I mentioned in the past had anything to do with my pc and were reproducible on other setups. Lets save the arguing for another thread though please.
 
The full capcom crash report if it helps...

This just happened in Dead Space within 5 minutes. I NEVER had a crash with the 3080 ti in that game.

If it happened to almost your game, is it possible due to bad drive / SSD? some corrupt on windows file?
If so, check the SSD condition, and then if it still happens, then maybe it's time to re-install the windows.

If you have 2nd rig, try testing your 4090 on that rig.

The drives were already checked plus the games being tested are not even all on the same drive.

I think it was a bad driver install somehow. After I saw that error in Dead Space I went back and reinstalled the driver but this time did not use DDU. I then played Metro and RE Village for over 60 minutes and no issues. Before I was not even making it more than 5 minutes minutes without a crash or a freeze in those two games. I think the latest version of DDU is the main issue for me because that's when the issue started on the 3080 TI a few weeks ago for those same games. As for Dead Space it did hang again after a few minutes with the same error but looking on the forums others have been getting that exact error too.

Glad you got it going.. DDU.. hmmm. Interesting.

AMD has driver issues every one knows this; sorry you are running 2 nvid cards so drivers couldn't be the problem.
I have no idea.
 
if you used an old version of ddu to remove the newest drivers something might have been missed to cause it. at least you got it goin.
 
The fun continues as now when I start the Callisto Protocol it just froze on the menu screen with out of memory error. I see some reports of this on the Steam forums even from other 4090 users. I tried again and after a few minutes it just crashed.

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0xffffffffffffffff

TheCallistoProtocol_Win64_Shipping

kernel32
ntdll


EDIT: Less than 5 minutes of Cyberpunk 2077 and it "flatlined"

may want to test your system memory. the only time i've ever run across errors like that was when my gskill ripjaws started crapping the bed which i knew was eventually going to happen since they were bad when i got them but just kept throwing voltage them until they worked.
 
I tested the memory a few weeks ago and no issues but I will check it again since I have no clue what is going on.


EDIT: Yep memory problems were detected almost immediately when I tested it.

Started the RMA process with G.Skill and went ahead and grabbed a Corsair 32GB kit from Best Buy and everything is working fine so far. Tested Cyberpunk, The Callisto Protocol and Dead Space and no issues.
 
I’ve seen more bad memory sticks in the last 12 months then I’ve seen in the entirety of my PC building “career”
 
I'm paranoid as hell right now because anything goes wrong I'm thinking it's the memory or either something else is going defective. After I get the memory back from gskill I may just sell it and keep this slower Corsair kit that I have now from Best Buy. Maybe the IMC on my CPU was just getting pushed a bit too hard and I'm the kind of person that just wants to set and forget not sit there and tinker.

looks like you found the issue...

Just seems like some boards/CPUs really don't play nice with certain memory kits. I've even heard of people having problems with stuff on the QVL list.
 
Wow bad RAM, that would have been WAAAAAYYY down the list for me. I would have done a scratch build first. Good catch.

I have no idea.
What makes you think it is NV drivers? Troll much?

That may be true but I’m talking about sticks that have worked fine for months or even a year plus, suddenly causing crashes.

I noticed the same thing, I had a couple AM4 systems that were rock solid at the rated kit speed for months that would suddenly not boot properly. I dialed back the memory speed to something safe and they ran no problem. Not sure what caused them to degrade as they were barely used and I didn’t do any bios updates in the meantime.

This was mainly with 2000 series Ryzen CPUs, I haven’t had many issues with the 3000 and 5000 series.

Been there had that on an intel quad core, Crucial ballistix ram. Worked for a year or so and then errors all over the place. Replaced with G-Skill and still running.

I've seen more than a couple systems where the the ram is getting undervolted by default. It's real easy to get errors that way.
 
I have been doing a little more research and it is crazy to see how many issues people are having with memory on both the mobo and memory makers QVL list. Apaprently that does not mean much and you still may have to do some tweaking even with the XMP. I have seen people with 13th gen Intel have issues even with 64GB 5600 mhz memory with XMP. It seems the dual rank (2x 32GB) kits put a lot more stress on things and using just single rank (4x 16GB) for all four slots can be even more trouble.

So really I do not even want to fool with tweaking the G.Skill 64GB kit that comes back. I will just sell it even though I am going to lose a crap ton on it since it already dropped in price by 125 bucks just a month after I bought it.
 
That "ExceptionCode">c0000005 error can be caused by a lot of things.

Glad you found the bad ram.
Other known causes include, but not limited to:
JavaVM software - if you don't need this, it's best to just uninstall it
Unstable overclocks
Bad hardware of all sorts (mobo, cpu, ram, ssd, video card)
Driver issues
OS files damaged..

Speaking of, if you finally have the system stable and no more crashes, you might want to run
sfc /scannow
in an administrator command prompt, just to make sure all of the crashing didn't corrupt any files.

I feel your pain on the memory, my old system I had to underclock some ddr-3466 to 2666, or maybe 3000. But it wouldn't run at the rated speed. New system, moved it over, and now it runs XMP at the rated speed.
 
I got a brand new G.Skill 64GB kit back yesterday from the RMA and installed it and it seems fine after some testing. I cant believe I paid 475 bucks shipped for that memory and now its already down to 310 bucks.

I ran the sfc /scannow and it did find and repair some files so thanks for the tip.

I would think that it is either on the sticks then, or, something got tweaked and never corrected or got stuck needing a bios reset or maybe a clear CMOS, or maybe it was a BIOS revision even. So many boards, RAM and BIOS that even a good vendor can shit the bed time to time.
Just saying because one time I couldn't get my RAM back to a previous high level it ran at. For all my trying it was a no go. But it was a me error. When fixed, BINGO!
