Frequent game crashing on Windows 11

So I recently updated to Windows 11 and ever since then most of my games have been crashing such as Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, even Phasmophobia. Sims 4 and Lethal Company work fine.

With Marvel Rivals I get an error "out of video memory trying to allocate source"

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000200000003

I also noticed that it uses an insane amount of my memory from the task manager and ends up bringing it up to between 80%- 90% usage, this was not an issue I had with the game on Windows 10.

Unfortunately I can't seem to rollback, and I've tried things such as running as administrator and running it in Windows 8 compatibility mode and it still ends up crashing, I'm out of ideas and I'd really like to be able to play something different.

Hi, good day! I'm Nals and I'll be happy to assist you today.

To better understand and resolve the issue you're experiencing, it would be helpful to analyze the minidump files generated by your system.

Could you please share these files with me? You can find them in the following location:

1. C:\Windows\Minidump

2. Copy the minidump files to your Desktop, then compress them into a ZIP file.

3. Upload the ZIP file to a cloud service (such as OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.), and create a shareable link.

4. Share the link here so we can review the files for you.


Regards,
Nals

Here are all my crash dumps from Fortnite and Marvel Rivals.

Note: It happens at random moment (sometimes 1st game, sometimes the 10th), just after a few seconds of fps drop, while the temperatures are absolutely stable and not too high (76 °C for the GPU, 57°C for the CPU).

Note 2: The issue happens on Fortnite too.

Note 3: Still happens after Windows 11 reinstallation, complete update, and complete update of all drivers.


Note 4: I tried with 2 different motherboards: B450 and B550 (CPU: 5800X3D, GPU: 3080Ti), the issue remains.

Thank you for helping!

Thank you for responding, I've looked in that file location and dont see a minidump folder. After researching a bit this may have to do with the fact that the crashes don't cause a "blue screen of death" on my pc, it's simply the programs themselves that crash and show me a crash report or just straight up close without warning. I could be wrong though.

Glad I'm not the only one with this issue. My pc is fully up to requirements and is quite strong so I know it's not an issue as to whether it meets game requirements or not, Windows 11 just completely screwed me over.

Hi!

I think I have an idea of what's causing these crashes: my PSU.

I upgraded my GPU and CPU, and even if it was long before the crashes, I haven't changed my PSU: a Mars gaming silver 750W of 2019.

I think it is getting old and it doesn't give enough power in game (CPU+GPU)

That's probably why I had no issue when stress testing either the CPU or the GPU, alone.

I will change for a Corsair RM850x which is Cybernetics Gold.

But delivery planned on jan 27th so let's be patient ^^

I'll post an update with my test results :)

I'm currently theorizing that my 16gb of RAM just might not be cutting it and that Windows 11 just uses A LOT more than 10 did, my friends who have windows 11 all have 32gb and have no problem so I am currently waiting for my new sticks to come in to find out, I will also update with results for anyone else who may be having the same issue :D

Package keeps getting delayed though due to the recent snowstorm so hopefully I receive it within the next few days.

Nope, I have 32Gb of ram and it crashes. And the bad news: it is still crashing with my brand new motherboard + PSU.

I really don't know what can be going on.

Yo guys I am excperiencing the same thing. My pc should be amazing the parts are awesome. It is amazing, my frames are unreal.

BUt this thing crashes all the flipping time and I cant even open marvel rivals. I don't think this is even tied to a game because I even crash on windows. sometimes i will turn my pc on and it will crash before I pout my pin in. other times it will game for 4 hours just fine. It seems random.
