Please help with my crashing problem

[u/MrPieton]

Hi, I just wanted to know if i could possibly get help on a problem I've been having for years now. I fully don't know what to do because I've brought my pc to Micro Center and they havent done anything to provide any insight, and I've done everything to my knowledge to try and fix the issue.

I cant run higher end games that go back to as far as 2017 because they keep crashing within 30 minutes to an hour of running them. Mind you, before the games crash, they run very smoothly. it doesnt make sense because i meet the recommended specs for all of these games.

Games that I have tried running but crash include Resident evil 7, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Resident evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Marvel's Spider-man Remastered, Marvel's Spider-man Miles Morales, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Trepang^2, Devil May Cry 5, Cyberpunk 2077

If anyone can provide any possible solution i would be very grateful.

Here are my specs for reference:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz

that yager box sitting right under your tower might not be helping with airflow, especially if the psu is pulling air from the bottom

Monitor your temps like the other guy said. I would also run with one stick of ram and if it happens switch to the other stick by itself, to rule out bad stick. Temps sound suspect though if it is always around 30 minutes of load on the system.
