how do i stop my computer hard crashing from vr?
over the past couple of months something changed about my computer and now it likes to crash a lot under lots of stress when it used to not do so, i do not know what caused it to happen, and i have no idea how to fix it. it seems to crash under heavy stress from the game but back then my computer was under heavy stress and it could handle it.

Greetings. What parts do you have in your PC? What is occurring when it crashes? Any blue screens / errors?
-
its a g706, when my computer crashes my vr is frozen on the last frame, my computer fans go extremely loud and my computer is just a black screen. the fans keep going loud for over a minute until they stop and i have to boot my pc again. no errors pop up before hand

Please try a clean install of your video card drivers and see if that helps.
Here is a step by step guide on how to do this: https://community.microcenter.com/kb/articles/133-how-to-clean-install-video-card-drivers-in-windows-10

i had done this process already, whilst it helped, crashes are possible still

Are you receiving any blue screens? If so run Bluescreenview on your PC and post a screenshot / post the description: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/bluescreenview-x64.zip

its not a bluescreen, it simply turns the screen black and my fans go loud.

Does this occur with any non-VR games? Is it with every game that you try?
-
yeah, it occured once when i had doom eternal at max settings and tried to stream on discord

You may want to look into a reset of Windows 10 to rule out it being a software issue:

All user data and information will be removed and all programs will be removed so you will want to ensure you have everything backed up that you aren't willing to lose.

i had already reset my windows 10, it has to be a hardware problem
