All games crash after 10 minutes of play

I put 16384 mb static?
 
Though if it was a memory issue, it would have said such and not minimized your game.
I thought so too, but mine was just minimized the game without any warning. Find it wierd...
i set virtuel memory intial size 2927mb,and max size 4405mb.Doest it good,

if not how much to put ?
Like I said, try 16384 - 16384MB for a static 16GB.

Dynamic pagefile (auto or custom sized for min/max) means that the page file increases or decreases depending the need. This however can turn pagefile to be scattered inside the drive with some portions here and there. I like it static, as space is not an issue for me, and to keep it always together and in one place. Although this had a major impact with HDDs and probably not so much, if not at all with SSDs and the trim function they have.

There is typically a dialog box that will pop up noting VM is running out. You should also see this in the event viewer if it happened...same with all his other crashes.

That being said, I'd like to see a shot of the event viewer with all the crashes and the reason. Feels a bit more like sniping than shotgun troubleshooting that way. :)

EDIT: This mofo still hasn't added his system specs... lol. Not like its 2012, but curious about space on the OS drive (assuming it is an SSD).
 
I remember Win7 and the system tray yellow triangle (!), and expecting some thing like that, or at least another popup window... but nothing. And did not check event viewer... my bad...
Anyway, increasing pagefile fixed it for me.

Here is to hoping it works! :)

I would still like to see his event viewer... and hardware specs listed. There should be something in there that points us in a specific direction.

Since I've run 16GB and SSDs (currently 32GB), I always set it static at 2048MB without issue (for my uses). As you said, a leftover habit from the HDD days I guess. :)

(OP, listen to Zach on this... if it doesn't work, let's see the event viewer)

4096 static up to 10000+ static was giving me game crashes, so I left it 16384 static.

My spec is,cpu r7 2700,rtx2060 gpu,psu chiftec 1250w,2x8gb ram kingstone hyper x 3200mhz,mobo aorus b450m,seagate 4tb hdd,and gigabyte ssd 248gb
 
I set 16 gb video memory,So far, it hasn’t crashed

but we'll see by tomorrow
 
@FM34 :

Install HWInfo found here: https://www.hwinfo.com/download/

Open "Sensors" tab then scroll down to motherboard to get an eyeball on PSU voltages to see if the PSU is failing.

Example:

I was having same issues with games and there was 2 different reasons (different time periods) for this, both related to memory.

1. Memory and IF at high speed (1866~1900MHz) with a bit tight timings (16-17-16-16-38) for the cheap b-die ICs my RAM has, no matter how high RAM/SOC voltage was.
----- Lower speed or looser timings fixed it.
2. Low virtual memory. I thought that because of 2x8GB RAM, the system would not require large virtual memory. So I set it initialy at 4~4GB static. I was wrong!
----- Setting PageFile above 12GB fixed the issue. I currently have it to 16384-16384MB (16GB static). There are times that games, like FarCry5/NewDawn load about ~8GB (11~12GB overall with win10 and all other processes) from physical RAM and another ~12GB on virtual.

Just start by setting Pagefile at fixed at 16GB and try. If you dont like having large portion of disk to vitrual memory just lower it and try until games start to crash/minimize again.

Hmm interesting, my results of stability were different with the PF

If they are low on software, you need to confirm with a multi-meter before getting a new one. Software is notoriously off on some of these readings. As a note, specification is 5% off the voltages.
 
If setting to 16gb vm fixes the issue, then that is foolishness. The OS has methods to tell you that. If it gets minimized, that popup warning is there somewhere. If it crashes, that event is in the viewer.

When helpees don't respond to basic requests by the helpers, time to checkout until it is done. Otherwise it ends up being a circle jerk waste of time.
 
Games crashing again,what next?
 
game sometimes crashed
Some games will crash when minimized because they don't support minimizing.


Focus on what's stealing focus from the game.
 
It no longer minimizes, now it just crashes
 
Check Event Viewer (Application logs). It should say what the faulting module was for the crash.

What game(s), specifically, are crashing?

all games,f1,apex legends,tom clansy ghost recon wildlands

In event viewer,i have nothing for application,only for system-information-user mode power service
 
just update you bios and just maybe yes maybe it may fix your problem bro. "you can lead a horse to water but you carnt make it drink"
 
Did you install the gforce experience and xbox related stuff ?
Because for me that was the culpritt when i removed that nvidia experience stuff the problems where solved instant.
To be honest you really do not need that experience at all.
 
I increased ram voltage and so far the game is not crashes
 
is this the chieftech navitas 1250 watt ?
how old is it?
 
I got blue screen,pfn list corupt

RAM or SOC voltage? I want to make sure.......

is this the chieftech navitas 1250 watt ?

If it is that one... it is actually good. But the problem is Chieftec is simply all over the map and mostly known for crap. I'd run a Corssair CX series before anything named chieftec. More often than not, the CX will be the better comparable unit.
