Game keeps crashing

[Biggranny000]

I should of refunded the game, but my PC keeps crashing. It did it years ago so I never touched it, I figured hey, I might as well try to beat/finish some games that I never beat yet.

Mind you, none of the other games I play ever crash, i'm running the latest drivers. The crashes are random, sometimes it crashes in 30 seconds, one time it was 90 minutes, the average is 15 minutes. So I keep getting stuck on the same level because it will crash.

The crash will shut down my PC and it will reboot.

Ryzen 3600, radeon 5700XT, 16Gb RAM, 750W PSU, etc, so I'm well above minimum specs.
I run the game at 60FPS on 4K, nearly maxed.
I tried lowering graphics to no avail, I also tried putting in more voltage in both my GPU and CPU, but that wasn't the problem. My CPU temp is usually 60C or below, averages around 50C. GPU core often hits 70-80C and junction is 110C but that's normal for AMD cards, I've ran much higher temps on more intense games and applications and never crashed.

I verified game integrity cache.

I can't figure out why it's crashing.

Have you overclock your processor, graphics card and RAM?

Yes, my GPU runs at just automatic settings though. My CPU is at 4.2Ghz, which it's always been running fine on everything, just not this game. RAM is bumped from 3200mhz to 3333mhz, with no voltage or timing changes. I can always try to turn everything down back to auto, but for it to be only be this game won't make sense.

Again, I appreciate the help!

Well, you should check if everything on auto fixes it. That way, you will avoid the issue with other games in the future which might happen sooner or later, and PC shutting down is not healthy or something you should bet won't happen if it happens in one game.
My guess would be it's RAM overclock not being stable, so turning that to 3200 might turn out to be the fix, and you wouldn't notice difference between 3333 and 3200 anyway.
But that's theory, without checking, that's just guessing game.

Ok, putting my CPU on auto actually fixed the problem it seems like, odd how it was only this game. However now my CPU is running extremely hot, it's hitting 70-85C while gaming because motherboards always pump way too much voltage by default. I can always go back to my old overclock and slightly bump up the voltage until it doesn't crash anymore.

Are you using a boxed cooler?

Probably yes, but the way he wrote the post in confusing.
I mean, he complains about motherboard giving too much voltage, and yet says bumping voltage UP over already supposedly too much makes temp lower, which physically doesn't make sense. Higher voltage = higher temp, there is no other way around that.
Unless he means he undervolted and then overclocked, which is pretty limited, but that's the only way that would explain why default raised the temp.

Yes, I was running like 1.29V at 4.2Ghz, on auto the motherboard pumps in as high as 1.41V which majorly increases temperatures. The game did manage to crash again with everything on auto, but it took around an hour, so I made a lot of progress. I can keep playing and see if the crashes are atleast more delayed now. I'm also going to try to turn off the steam overlay, which shouldn't do anything but I've heard of it having issues with games before.
