    Hello
    I have a rather strange problem. My Windows 10 kicks me out of games to the desktop without any message. The problem is strange in that I've been playing games for a few weeks and then suddenly at some point I'm thrown to the desktop, and from then on a given game after starting is thrown to the desktop every time after only a few seconds. For example, I was playing Fallout 4, and after several hours of playing it crashed to the desktop, and now it crashes every time after a while. Call of Duty WWII the same, Metro the same, and for example in Forza 5 I play and play and everything is ok.... Fallout New Vegas also runs without a problem. I've already checked the disks and they are ok, RAM is the same, the comp is not overheating, the power is not lacking (well after all Forza is running and nothing is happening).
    My configuration is:
    * i5 12600KF Silientium PC Fortis3
    * Asus RTX 2060 12GB
    * MB Asus B460m plus wi-fi
    * DDR4 RAM (2x8 Good Ram Irdm)
    * SSD M2 Good Ram Irdm 512 for Windows 10
    * WD 1GB M2 SSD for games
    * SSD and 2x HDD for the rest of the junk.
    * Thermaltake Smart SE 730W 80plus bronze power supply.

    Anybody have any good advice? Because it's already driving me nuts....

    Check what you see in system events (control panel/administrative tools/event view) Maybe there will be a message in them.

    Gee, thanks, I'm already on the trail. It's throwing the nvlddmkm error and there's already something written about it on the net. If it helps I'll write for others and close the topic. Give me some more time ;) .

    Added after 5 [hours] 57 [minutes]:

    I kicked out the driver, cleaned the PC of nvidia, reinstalled and the same thing. I am surprised that for example Forza runs normally, some time ago I played Fallout 4 and it started to crash - I left it, installed Metro - played and after a few days it also crashes, and Forza continues normally. I don't get it, in events there is nvlddmkm error all the time, but the lift runs normally....

    1. check that you have "High Performance" set in the nVidia panel power options.
    2) Test the memory for any errors.
    3. run CHKDSK
    4. you can also gently slow down the GPU core and memory clocking
    Uninstall drivers via DDU and then cleanly install new drivers.

    Generally this error can cause many things.

    1- Yes
    2- was done is ok
    3- was done is ok
    4- is at a minimum
    5- It was done like this

    And now the best thing - for 2 hours I've been playing Forza Horizon at max - the computer is hot and everything works as it should. I turn on Fallout 4 - it crashes, I turn on Metro 2033 - it crashes - but already in the event log there are no errors, nothing at the time when I start the games or when they shut down. The only thing I've done is to 2 times crash drivers with DDU, but the second time I installed some old drivers from a year ago - what did it do? -> errors are not in the log but games continue to crash....

    Maybe make yourself some sort of resource usage log. Maybe there is some strange parameter when the crash occurs, or a repeat situation where two different games crash at the same time. Have you also checked if it's the same with V-Sync on / off or some kind of limit on max FPS?

    I've checked everything, v-sync off, frames at 60, 80, 120, it makes no difference, even graphics set to low and nothing helps.... Is it possible that "something" interferes with the game itself? Well, for example I played Call of Duty and after about 2 weeks it crashed the game and kept crashing after every maybe 2 minutes. I gave up, played Metro and the same thing happened, half a game behind me and it crashed, Fallout the same - played for 2 weeks and crashed. And Forza Horizon has been on my PC for a few months now and I play it once (as I do everything else) and it works normally....

    To be sure, you might want to scan your PC decently for some sort of malware. If you don't know what's going on, it's worth checking and ruling out such things. You could also still try playing Offline, physically disconnecting the PC from the network.

    To be sure it's a software problem, test your PC for at least several minutes occt power tab.

    As for the log, there must be some errors immediately after the game crashes. Check it carefully by relating it to the time it crashes to the desktop. Preferably save the whole for system and application and provide here for review.

    If the game shuts down spontaneously without any error messages, there are several potential causes for this problem. Check that your computer or games console is not overheating. Overheating can lead to sudden shutdowns to avoid damage. Ensure that the cooling system, such as fans or vents, is working properly and is not clogged with dust or debris. Remove accumulated dust if necessary. If the game shuts down suddenly, this may be due to insufficient power supply to the system. Ensure that the power supply unit (PSU) is able to provide sufficient power to the hardware components. If necessary, replace the PSU with a more powerful one, as I did. All because I couldn't play casino games properly. After that, I was knocking out that visit day.

    There's probably a bug in the system files, because the game can't drop so drastically.

    Increasing the virtual memory should solve the problem.

Topic summary

The user experiences random crashes while playing games on Windows 10, where the system unexpectedly returns to the desktop without error messages. The issue began after several weeks of stable gameplay, affecting titles like Fallout 4, Call of Duty WWII, and Metro 2033, while Forza Horizon remains unaffected. Initial troubleshooting included checking system events, reinstalling NVIDIA drivers, and ensuring power settings are optimized. Despite these efforts, the crashes persist, with the nvlddmkm error noted in event logs. Suggestions from the community include checking for malware, adjusting virtual memory, and performing hardware diagnostics, such as memory tests and SSD health checks.
