Hard crash at random times

[ThetaCoder]

Thansk for the reply.

Had a good day, 4 hour session, no crash, then today, 2 crashes.....

The PSU is a 1200W Seasonic unit, and the PC is connected to an 1800VA battery backup unit.

The entire OS was re-installed when I had to move the game to C so SE could give me more BS excuses, so it is a clean load. Yeah, Event viewer was the first place I looked, but there is nothing there out of the ordinary across any of the logs.

I tried the one monitor, setting them for same resolution and refresh, and don't get me started on GSync, monitor says it's supported, NVidia says it's supported, but it refuses to activate, even in single monitor setup.

High performance is my default power setup.

FSR/DLSS were things I tried earlier, as it is right now, the game is on potato level. I never installed the Nvidia HD Audio drivers to begin with

In reaching out to Intel, they are going to replace my CPU as a precaution, but they too admit this seems more like really really poor coding if everything else, even the OS is fine, and it's only 1 program having fits.

The cable and port used on the video card and monitor can do this.
Use Display Port (not HDMI), use a very high quality DP cable (not a bundle cable provided with the card or monitor) that is rated for DP 1.4 or higher, and make sure in the event of there are multi-DP ports on the card and/or monitor(s) that you are using a port that is at minimum DP 1.4 or higher.
If the cable length is over 10 feet, make sure to go up in grade to even higher than recommended.

DP can handle the nVidia G-Sync systems (DP 1.4 and higher for anything over 120hz/FPS).
HDMI can't handle it correctly for nVidia, but does work with AMD FreeSync.
