Crashed With Error "nvwgf2umx?"

[LUnacy45]

I've been troubleshooting my new PC for the last week or so and today is the first time i've seen progress. I recently used DDU to uninstall what I believe was a corrupted NVIDIA driver and was able to run Heaven Benchmark for 30 minutes, when before any 3D application was crashing in under 10. I decided to run this game to see if I could get through the tutorial without it crashing, but once again, no dice. I got a different error than last time, however.

Previously I was getting the "win64_shipping" error, but had the same exact crash behavior with no slowdowns and a sudden crash to this screen.

Running:

Ryzen 5 2600x

MSI RTX 2070 Armor 8gb

16gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600hz RAM

Windows and all games mentioned installed on a 500gb WD Blue NAND M.2 SSD

try lowering your RAM Speed and/or Timings or maybe increase Vsoc and Vdimm voltages.
last 2 weeks when the summer finally arrived I also had issues with Engine Crashes and it was related to RAM overclocking.
the overclocking was stable before, I used different mem- and torture tests that didn't show any errors, but UE4 games crashed nontheless...

Yeah my RAM is at base clock, so i'd have to underclock it. I haven't overclocked anything

the official maximum RAM Speed for Ryzen 2xxx Processors is 2933Mhz. If you load a D.O.C.P profile and go past the 2933Mhz, you're overclocking.
the D.O.C.P profiles are Intel XMP profiles, that may or may not work out of the box without errors on an AMD platform. It's for Intel and for the ease of use they made it possible to use the profiles.
Try lowering the Speed, just select 3400 or even 3200Mhz and give it a try. If the crashes are gone, you should read some guides about optimizing RAM settings for Ryzen. Maybe raising the Vsoc and Vdimm is enough to get 3600 to work.

Admittedly my RAM speeds is something I keep forgetting to try. I'll do that when I get a chance.
