How much fps do you get in gta?

how hard of a lockup? like audio looping? thats probably windows trying to write a bsod log but failing to.

check power supply. check power connectors, re-seat your gfx card and be sure to DDU your drivers and install the latest ones.
also dx files could be bugged, vcred etc. also any 3rd party usb devices or software.
so many things can cause this its not funny.

just freeze screen, no audio or anything else. waited along time but nothing happens.
cant see anything logged in eventviewer except unexpected shutdown.

seems to only happen in GTA 5 so far tho, i tried alot of other games with max setttings but run without problems.

overwatch, cod: cold war, Warzone, escape from tarkov, hitman 2, pubg.
Got any tips on other GPU heavy games to try ?


i figured it was the power to GPU so ill look into that.

run furmark if you are brave.
run Unigine Superposition maxed out for a reasonable test.

DO you have a 1000w PSU? I have a Seasonic 850w Titanium but due a defect on this PSU or because how peak current 3090 has it sometimes detect a Overcurrent and then shut down and restart the system . Only happens on Hevy load graphic scenes in many games (ACOD, ACO, Witcher3). My workaround was to set GPU Power to 80 85%.

That's very common issue either with socket power being poorly plugged in or GPU not being fully seated and locked into pci-e slot.
If this happens under load check your PSU connectors or if your PSU is fully capable of supplying the power needed for your GPU.

did you try reinstalling the drivers?

Also if you are getting a blue screen, use the following tutorial to set windows to write a minidump.

Once you set windows to do minidumps, you can use a program to read those blue screen errors to find the exact driver causing issues.

I did run Unigine Superposition maxxed out
No idea why it work withou freeze or crash

i did however changed XMP profile in bios and played a session of black ops last night with only 1 crash but it was just game crash, no need to reboot.

so we've ruled out power issues thats good.

the next you need to look at is your drivers, while they are fresh that doesn't rule them out.
you need to DDU them in safe mode and reinstall them.

some times when with a fresh install of windows there are conflicts with windows update forcing drivers it thinks you need. Best thing to do is just wipe them out and start over.

same with directx files.

same with vcred files.
