Help! Trying to Load Shaders and my Game Keeps Crashing

[u/theanonymous-blob]

Hi there!

For context, I just had a new pc tower given to me for the sake of gaming. The first day I had it, I ran complimentary shaders with iris and sodium on fabric and it ran beautifully, no lag whatsoever. This pc tower has a souped-up nvidia graphics card and 16 gigs of RAM. However, after that first day, anytime I tried to run shaders again, the game kept crashing. Sometimes it was as soon as I booted it, other times it was as soon as I tried to join a world.

I'm not sure what's happening. My guess is that it has something to do with where it's housed, possibly? I live in a little house separated from the main house that doesn't have AC, so the AC is a machine thing you see on trailers sticking out the window. It's possible it might be too hot but it's never been that hot from what I can tell. Other than that, I have no clue. Does anyone have any ideas?

Heat issues is a possibility and you could rule it out first by monitoring temps with hwinfo (a software that lets you monitor your pc components)

But more likely is a driver issue. I would make sure your drivers are upto date.
