MSI Afterburner crashing most Steam Games

[Drumstix]

MSI Afterburner crashes all Steam Games except CS:GO. The only way to play the game is to remove MSI Afterburner before running the game. When the game launches with MSI Afterburner it will load for 5-10 seconds before crashing. Is there any fix for this?

Have you changed any other settings in the MSI After burner? in the center look at core clock Mhz should be zero
Memory clock Mhz? is also zero
I just use it to monitor my gpu heat .

Yeah it's all at 0 mhz any ideas?

Press the reset icon on afterburner. On the main thing it looks like an arrow going in a circle. See if that helps?

I've had this happen right after installing a NVIDIA driver. I exit out then re-launch Afterburner.

Core and Memory may say +0 because you're not manually OC'ing, thats normal.

Pick a correct Skin, such as a modern day Dragon Skin that shows the Power Boost Limit and Temp Limit bars. Then it should show your current active Core/Mem clocks on the left hand side.

MSI-AB crashing games is simply due to your not configuring it properly.
Learn how to do that. Its not hard.

First what I would do is fully uninstall MSI AB + RTSS if present.

Then run DDU and go to Safe Mode.

Wipe out all 3 brands of GPUs.
Disable the option that allows Windows to auto fetch + install Drivers.

Reboot after all is cleaned.

Download latest drivers for Motherboard Chipset and whatever GPUs you may have and install each, reboot after each is done. When all are installed and you've rebooted after all of them, download and install the latest for...
> MSI Afterburner
> RivaTuner (RTSS)
> MSI Kombuster

Install all 3 and reboot. Then launch MSI AB and configure it. When OSD has been enabled, this will auto launch RTSS, then configure it as well.

I'm working on it. Thank you!
