so recently i updated windows 5 days ago..

and since then while i play pubg/smite etc my pc will just freeze randomly.. no error codes etc and ill have to force restart my pc (only happens while playing games) ... when i googled the issues i tried a couple of the steps i found on the internet associated with what i believe is happening...

ive cleared my Temp files/ updated my drivers( made sure they were up to date) checked for corrupt files using System file checker

which when i ran that it said it should come back clear but mine didnt is says

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at
windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline
repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.


i personally have no clue what that means or if its common or easy to fix... Q_Q or if this could be causing the issues...

i turned down my OC's on my cpu/gpu and memory and im having the same issue so im not sure how to proceed..


pc spec ryzen 1600 @3.9 ghz @ 49c idle and 52-55c load
1070ti gpu clock @ 721mhz memory clocked at 4006 mhz volatge at 675mV it runs at 54c idle and 59 under game load
16gb ram 3000mhz

running windows 10 64bit


if you need other info lmk O_O

Lmk wen u find out
Mine does this for league and I can't even oc anything just running everything at stock

=/ ya ive thought about rolling back the update to windows.. seeing if its just the newest update... but idk

Check health of your hdd with S.M.A.R.T. software. Mainly check if you have reallocated sectors also currently pending or uncorrectable.

when i run my cmd prompt i ran

C:\Users\Dahgos>wmic
wmic:root\cli>diskdrive get status
Status
OK
OK

i know its the basic windows disk drive check... im going to downlaod hard disk sentinel its free comes recommended by a couple tech tubers.. ill see if it say otherwise...

SSD Health 100% excellent

HDD Performance 100% excellent no Problematic or weak sectors no actions required there are no Spin up or data tranfer errors
HDD Health 100% excellent


any other ideas as to what might be casuing the issue?

Yeah, the problem is probably caused by the Windows update corrupting a driver. Happens a lot. Since it only happens in games, I would assume the grfx driver or the LAN (or wireless) driver to be the corrupted one.

For the grfx driver...


If you can, block the Windows updates, then....

DDU Instructions - Nvidia
1. Get this program, here: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ ...get the latest version, and save it to your desktop.
2. Get your vid card driver here, use the Manual Search: http://www.geforce.com/drivers ...save this to your desktop.
3. Run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) choose the "Highly Recommend Option", and just do what it tells you. If it wants to go into "Safe Mode", let it.
4. After it's done and comp has rebooted to normal mode, just double click the Nvidia driver to install. If it want's to reboot, let it.


For the Ethernet or wireless driver, get the latest one directly from the manufacturers website. Those you should just be able to install over top of the old ones.

So... No fix pretty much?

Will attempt when I get home from work ty ghot

Hope it helps. Usually when things get weird after an update, it's.... the update.
