I seem to have a very consistent crash to desktop issue, with no error or bug report from the adrenaline software appearing when playing certain games. I first noticed this on Dirt 5 (Game Pass) where every 5th race results in a crash to desktop about 10 seconds in. This will happen every time without failure. 

Nioh 2 (Steam) also has a similar issue where you can guarantee a crash to desktop. This occurs if you open a mimic chest or summon a blue revenant every single time. Red revenants do not cause the crash to desktop. 

Other games like Crysis Remastered, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Control run fine and don’t seem to trigger any crash to desktop issues.

I have had this GPU for over a month and never encountered issues until I recently begun to play Dirt 5 and Nioh 2, there might be other games I haven’t played yet which could have similar faults.

Does anyone know what this could be?

Are there any entries in the Windows application log showing the nature of the crash?

I just found an error for Nioh 2 as well (I don’t know what any of these mean though):

I'd take a look at your memory settings, and maybe do some checking with Memtest86.  Those crashes are general access violations, which suggests questionable RAM.

I have the same problem. And as suggested, used memtest 2 times, 8 passes each. No errors.

Did you figure out what is causing Dirt 5 crashes? As you also mentioned, this is the only game I've seen this behavior. I really would like to solve it, specially now, that I've found that others are facing the same.
