Game Crashing on my PC

    Hello, I recently started playing SoT again, been having fun so far. However, an issue that I am having is that my game will crash every 5-30 minutes for seemingly no reason. Sometimes it gives an error about my graphics card and asks me to update my driver. I have tried the latest driver, as well as a known good driver and I still keep crashing.

    Specs:
    CPU: i7-8700k (stock)
    GPU: RTX 2080 Ti
    RAM: 16 GB DDR4 @2133Mhz
    Storage: 1x 500 GB m.2 (C: drive), 1x 1 TB m.2 (where the game is installed) 1x 1 TB HDD @7200 RPM

    I am starting to think it may be because I am playing the game at 4k, but I am not 100% sure. My wife plays with a 1080 Ti and 1080p and is having no issues with a similar setup to me.

    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    Some things to try:

    • Check that you have no overclocks running.
    • Try using DDU to uninstall old drivers then update to new one.
    • Update windows
    • Use a monitor software like MSI afterburner to check GPU temps, clock, etc. while playing. Can reveal if your card is running to hot.
    • Test the GPU in your wife's system. If it's not crashing, test the card in your machine with your wife's PSU.

    @perfecter DDU is something that I will do for sure.

    I know I don't have any OC on the card.
    Windows is updated to the most recent.
    Card isn't running too hot.
    My PSU has a higher wattage than my wife's and if it was a PSU problem then it would be happening in other games that I play. On top of that, if it was a PSU issue then I would most likely be hard crashing my system, not just the game.

    Thanks

    @xsnoweyballsx PSU issue was a long shot but it can affect different games, depending on GPU usage. I had a PSU that caused GPU crashes, without shutting the rest of the system down...
