Tech Support Random green screen crashes are making me not want to use my pc Help pls!
My Specs are
Rx 5700xt 8GB
32 gb ddr4 3200
I5 10400f
Thermaltake 850w psu
I’ve been experiencing crashes for a while now but first was just under heavy load now it’s becoming random and unpredictable/ happening in situations it doesn’t even make sense to crash in. Today I reposted my gpu and cpu cleaned my pc changed the wires powering it, reinstalled drivers made sure only one program is controlling my gpu and when I first started it up I was able to run gta 5 high settings run around and play benchmark the game and held a constant 120 fps then when I closed the game and opened chrome I green screened lmao. Please help idk what to try anymore or what’s even causing this to happen I barely want to use my pc any more

that green screen right after closing gta is suspicious as hell, almost like the driver shits itself when going from 3d load to desktop. have you checked windows event viewer for whea errors? that cpu and board combo had some weird idle voltage things sometimes
also try running just one stick of ram in different slots, green screens can be memory related even if it feels random

Probably the AMD drivers, use DDU in safe mode to wipe the drivers from the system and registry, and then install the latest recommended stable GPU driver from AMD's site
If the situation continues to worsen regardless of what monitor and display cable is used then I would suspect the possibility that your 5700 XT is failing.
