PC crashes during initial launch of most games

Dear Comrades, please help me in fixing these crash issues.

I do a lot of gaming. Recently I put a ton of money to build my custom gaming PC with both AMD processor and AMD GPU. I love AMD products but now I may have to change my opinion if this doesn't get fixed.

I am able to play games like csgo in 2K resolution at 250+ fps most time on my 27inch 144Hz monitor. It never crashes while playing CSGO.

But i am unable to play other games. When I tried playing GTA5, the game starts playable and after hardly 1 minute of play time, system abruptly crashes and restarts. Just like that. No dump files to debug it properly. Just few events in windows 'Event Viewer'.

This same behaviour happened while playing Darksiders WarHammer Edition bought on Steam.

To reproduce crash, launch the game, start campaign or whatever, and during the play within 1 minute it crashes the PC.

I am missing life during this Corona time. Lockdown at Home and no fun. It's sick.

I tried WhoCrashed and it always shows -  No valid crash dumps have been found on your computer

It's not a temperature issue I believe.

I tried benchmarking my GPU using Heaven Benchmark 4.0 and It runs great. No issues here.

I tried reinstalling windows and other solutions but all in vain.

I don't know what to do given I am new to this windows ecosystem. Please help me in fixing this crash. I will do what necessary steps that you suggest and share the results.  Thank you.

UPDATE  1

Now my system in crashing randomly at any point. Using WhoCrashed reveals mindump content as below.

I tried to reinstall windows. During full reset of windows also, my PC crashed multiple times. 

I see that it is not just related to Graphics card, it is more about PSU or motherboard issues maybe.

Update 2:

Thank you guys for the support. But I tried few suggestions, but they are not working.

 

So, I tried by replacing my Graphics card with my friends GPU.  Now, it is working great with no crashes. I used Radeon RX  580 Series Sapphire Pulse GPU and my system is running flawlessly since last 5 days.

 

I am perplexed why my system crashes randomly with 5700XT but not with 580. The only difference in system assembly is that RX 580 needs 8pin  Power supply and RX 5700XT needs 14 pin power supply.

 

I even tried by changing PSU but it is not helping.

 

I tried by inserting my GPU (5700XT) in my friends system and it is working great. Now I am more confused.

 

I am guessing that there is no issue with either GPU or my system or my friends system. I feel there might be some compatibility issues. 

 

Please help.

Hi I have similar issues you need to go into ATI Radeon Control Panel - Select Gaming Tab then Select the game with problem then click 'Tune Game Performance' and make sure Advanced fan control is enabled, Zero RPM option disabled if shown and also Power Tuning Enabled and set the Power Limit too -10%. (Make sure to save this profile too load on each boot).

 

This worked for me!

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR! Run tests for the CPU.


Prime95, OCCT and FurMark CPU Burner can be used. If you encounter the same error, return the motherboard to the store where you bought it and get better.

That is your VRM.

That is a quality VRM on x570!
Annotation 2020-04-21 154224.jpg

The processor you use is not ordinary. I hope you consider what I wrote!

I previously used OCCT to stress test CPU. I allowed it to run for 25 minutes. It did not report any issues. The temperature of CPU went to 94 degree C and is handling such stress. You are right that something might be corrupt in BIOS maybe. I do have default settings and mostly under auto config. I do not have much fundamentals on setting voltages. I will try that.

These days I am able to run my PC sometimes for 5 hours and suddenly it might crash for no apparent reason. I will debug it.

You should contact the store you bought the mobo. A better mobo will be better for you. With manual vcore, you probably solve the problem but problems may occur in the future.

EDIT:

Ideal for 3900x is 240mm liquid cooler. Also motherboards try to run the processor with OC constantly, with an option like AI Tuner with BIOSs. In this way, motherboards do not consider the TDP limits. Goodluck...

I found many messages on reddit from people with this error, most of them had rx5700 / 5700xt. The error began to appear in the log after the May 2004 update

The error message has nothing to do with the GPUs. Windows 2004 does not change the cause of the error message. The driver forces the processor to the error. However, the problem with encountering the error message is not caused by the GPUs for Win2004.

drivers should stabilize fast now that 2004 has been released 

dx12 changes are the big problem

Not for this error message.

Driver problems do not cause this error message to be got but the driver pushes the processors to this error message. If the processor is stable, you will not have any problems with high probability.

No fan issues. I even did try with power tuning also. There is no pattern for crashes with Radeon Settings.

Your processor is not working properly. BSODs you got show this with high probability. Look for the problem with the CPU, not the GPU. Try to reset the BIOS to factory settings. Try to give manual Core Voltage or try to give manual Core Ration with the BIOS.

Sounds exactly like the issues I'm having. The majority of it happens in Unreal Engine games, but also when using Blender 3D and Firefox.

My system ran perfectly with my GTX 1060.

I'm running a R5 3600.

first thing check to be sure the latest BIOS is installed

then for RX 5700 class cards, 19.12.1 seems to be the best driver for them at the moment

Most likely there is BIOS issues with some machines that affect card stability

Lots of video cards do not work on my MSI X570-A PRO as of yet

If thats the case, I am disappointed. Could you tell me what I can do to make it compatible or system correction that I can do. I spent so much money on this and I will try to go till the end to make it work. Thanks for your kind quick reply.

I have not tried Corsair memory but it is usually fairly good.

20.8.1 is the latest driver for Radeon graphics

MSI has also put out new BIOS releases recently so consider an update

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR

This error message indicates that your processor is not working stably. The reasons for getting this error message can be as follows.
+ The motherboard cannot adjust the processor core voltage with default settings.
+ OC caused by the settings you make or the motherboard itself disrupts the system stabilization.

Result:
The motherboard must be used in factory settings. I suggest that you only change the RAM speeds. All remaining settings should be at factory settings. If you continue to get the error, you can follow this ways...
+ The processor core voltage must be raised manually with the BIOS.
+ The processor core voltage should be kept at factory settings and the core frequency of the processor should be reduced.

As long as you do not replace the motherboard and follow the above suggestions, you will always be likely to get errors periodically. Goodluck...

Could upload one of the minidumps?

Might be able to narrow down what's causing the error by running it through WinDbg.

BTW, do you have event 65, AppModel-Runtime errors (Error 0x57 while getting AppModelRuntime status for Windows package) in administrative events? I found an interesting thread on the Microsoft forum, this error occurs for people with similar symptoms (sudden reboots and freezes during games) This error also occurs in my event log.

I can't check it now. I formatted my system and currently running with working GPU.
