Describe the issue
This problem is happening in most of the games that I am trying to play.
There is no rule to when will crash happen. It can be at start of the game, in pause menu or during a gameplay.
For example, I am able to play games like GTA 5, Read Dead Redemption 2, Witcher 3 without a single lag or crash. However, some games, that I find much less demanding like Stronghold: Warlords some Tomb Rider game from 2013, Prey and so on, would cause crash.
To be precise, usually I would see screen similar to what I expect would be result if there is a problem with GPU or its driver. After 10 to 15 seconds, screen would turn black and booting process would start again. During those 10-15 seconds, system would became unresponsive. If I try to move a cursor or press some button, I would be able to se some very, very small flickering.
Regression
No. It only work in some games. Earlier I didn't give it much attention, because I was thinking that it is software related (as I am tryng to play games that are made for Windows) and that it would be fixed. However, after two years I am experiencing the same issue.
