PC build question

I don't know much about PC building but I'll answer to the best of my ability.

AC6 keeps crashing when Assault Armor is used and I can't seem to find any fixes online so, what are some budge friendly changes I can make?

What I know I have:

Processor: ryzen 5 3600

GPU: rx radeon 580

That's all I know. I'm sorry.

Quick edit: About the budge, it's my parents so I'd like to be as cheap as possible.

Performed File integrity check? (Steam
Armore Core VI/Installed Files/Verify Integrity of Files)

Basics then:
If possible list the model# of the Motherboard & Ram specs. Use CPU-Z/CPUID app to check.
Download MSI Afterburner/Rivatuner APP & record what the CPU & GPU temps are when idle.
Then see/record what the temps are when AC6 crashes while using Assault Armor.

There are numerous you-tube videos on how setup MSI Affterburner/ Rivatuner onscreen temps, fan rpms, fps, etc. while gaming. Custom CPU & GPU temp/fan rpm fonts, names etc...

Hardware:
0. Heat is a PCs enemy. Sensors detecting over-temp will throttle down the CPU performance (clock cycles) to protect itself for example. Also applies to Graphic cards.

1. The CPU might be overheating. If it been a couple of years clean & re-paste the CPU heatsink or AIO.

2. That RX580 is probably due for thermal re-paste & heat pad replacement. Dried up thermal paste & brittle thermal pads will cause overheating, especially under load (hence the AA crash?).

3. Internal of the PC case might full dust. Carefully use a vacuum remove debris/dust etc.... Try to avoid using Can of air blasted directly at PCB components!.

4. If still using a HDD mechanical spinning drive, highly recommend upgrade it to a SSD or M.2 .

Now that you mention it, I suppose basic maintenance is the cheapest solution to try first, I'll try this out this weekend. Thank you.

Hope it helps.. Or maybe might be as simple as updating the graphics video drivers as well.
When temps are under control, then check other stuff like the MObo bios version, Windows OS tuning/de-bloat/updates/ gpu drivers...who knows it might be a good Overclocker lol.
Another thing that's quite overlooked is the state of operating system. If Windows is unstable or bloated/sluggish to begin with, then running AC6 will not be a good experience.
happy hunting!
