So I bought my current PC from DS about 3 years ago now and it finally seems like something is seriously wrong with it.

Basically around 2 weeks ago now whenever I try to load up any game past the main menu it will crash with an error message usually relating to memory.

I've tried a few fixes like increasing the virtual memory and making sure no programs are eating up too much ram with task manager and nothing seems to be working. Honestly I'm very very bad at troubleshooting and my PC knowledge is very basic, like I can open and close programs and that's about it lol.

I have noticed that if I restart the PC sometimes I can get certain games to work for awhile but yeah. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Here are my specs.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700k CPU @ 4.20Hz 4.20 GHz

Installed memory (RAM) 16.0 GB

System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070

Can you take a screenshot of the error message and post back here in this thread? Also, when running other non-game applications, does this error recur (e.g., watching videos)?

Or take a cellphone photo of it and upload it.

Couple of questions also...
1. What are the temps of your CPU and GPU?
2. Is all of your memory being detected? and
3. Have you checked /reloaded your GPU drivers?
