Crashing constantly

[Nefarria]

Has anyone run into an issue where this game crashes increasingly often as you go along? It hardly crashed at all in the beginning but it crashed 3 times in a half hour near the endgame. It also crashes whenever I touch a key on my keyboard for some reason (I use a gamepad). I meet all the requirements. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Your Windows event logs could give a hint about what happens at your System.

Things to check verify game files re start pc verify again. If using windows 10 in search type CMD run as administrator then type sfc /scannow checks folders and repairs. I had several crashes yesterday after having a new ssd installed in a new windows download it found several issues and fixed them

I'm on WIndows 11. For some reason reinstalling the steam client helps it for a time but within a day or two it has the same exact problem again. I must've re-downoaded Steam like 5 times.I'm not even sure if this is an Elden RIng or Steam issue anymore. Most of the time the crashes also aren't showing up in event viewer. I've also reinstalled Elden RIng and Verified the game files at least half a dozen times over the past few weeks. Tried the sfc /scannow command twice and it doesn't seem to do much either.

Your PC is the problem; probably Windows, some dependency, a driver, or a background app.

Again, use Windows Event Viewer and search "Elden Ring" for crash logs. Copy / paste the newest log here.

Only a few of the crashes even show up in Event Viewer and even fewer have Elden RIng as the faulting App. This is the most recent crash:

Try DDU + Update GPU driver

My driver is up to date. It was the first thing I checked. I'm a little nervous about using DDU, would uninstalling and reinstalling cause problems and would that solve any issues?

The driver might be up to date but corrupted - the faulting app is part of the driver package. Stands to reason it's corrupted, but you could try disabling any of its features instead of reinstalling.

DDU isn't that scary. Watch a quick vid tutorial if unsure. The purpose is to ensure a fully clean installation of GPU driver in case of a dirty release or incomplete cleanup from prior update.

No dice. Uninstalled and reinstalled but still crashed the second i hit a key

Also getting this in Event Viewer:
Windows cannot load the extensible counter DLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysmain.dll" (Win32 error code The specified module could not be found.).

What peripherals are plugged in? Try unplugging unnecessary devices.

Look up and use Ghostbuster to remove ghosted devices as well. Trying to narrow down cause; if new driver didn't fix it and you're getting OS level errors, there's a chance your windows install is borked

A deeper analysis is needed.
Is ther some undervolting or massive overclocking in use ?

The crash of elden ring points to a incompatible Software in Background or core driver fault all other crash logs point to a massive instability.

Friend Dark breed he is brilliant at this stuff.

Unplugged everything unnecessary and still have the same issue. Restarts are starting to hang forever too so I think it could be a bad windows install.

I checked the power requirements and should be good on that front and I never even looked into overclocking this. What do you think would be the best way to get a better handle on this?

Last resort I can think of:

Right click windows icon
open Powershell (admin)
type: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Also, try resetting the BIOS to default. Save a profile of current settings if feature is available, to switch back if nothing changes. Gotta check hardware too.

A lot of what you've described will arise in a system with questionable RAM overclock settings. If your system has had XMP on for a long time, and it's not mega-stable, odds are that occasional erroring has caused extensive OS damage. XMP is a "just toggle on for more performance 4Head" setting, generally due to lack of QVL support for the kits most users pair with motherboards. I'm not saying it's this, but it should not be ruled out yet
