Computer hard froze when launching dead by daylight
Hey all

Must launched dbd a few mins ago and the computer hard froze to where I had to hold the power button to turn it off

..I’ve had a few gpu crashes lately but never this

Specs

Win 10
3080 asus tuff
64 gigs of ram
2tb and 4tb storage

Any help with this?

Well does it happen consistently, or does it run dead by daylight normally? If the problem isn't replicate-able kinda makes it tough to troubleshoot and do anything to fix a problem that's not occurring.

But... first place I might look to see if there's any information about the crash in Windows Event Viewer. Sometimes it can tell you exactly what the problem is, sometimes it's clear it logged the error by the information is cryptic. Fingers crossed.

Hey there!

Nope just happened today

I did get a Gameinput service stops working this happened6 times” in the event viewer

Lots of fake input stuff and here from around crash time
It's unreal engine shenanigans, completely normal phenomenon

just no

ue games crashing can be signs of system instability, or maybe cpu/gpu throttling

hard lock is often unstable oc, cpu, ram, or maybe weak/overrated psu

i dont get it about unstable OC, like every parts now have auto-boost, execpt Ram, what kind of device unstable by doing what its specs promise, execpt we doing manually OC, did he?

and you know everything about the system?

if your system is unstable, have you tried disabling xmp?
or another psu? or underclocking slighlty (lower bclk/fsb to ~99.5)



@op

post a cpuz validation link
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
cpuz -> validate button -> submit button
it will open a browser, copy the url (address) and paste it here

Water cooling required. You have a new PC considering you have 64gb of ram
Someone the other day had that "GameInput Services" EV error and it turned out to be a bad PSU. :badluck:

water cooling is never required
air coolers are proven to last longer
and newer air coolers are better than 120 aio, and can match 360mm aio

You have to get a quality and aio close loop. Once you install it properly it cools better than air cooled. They are like cars. Yes some cars are air cooled. Like vw bug.

If you undervolt. That's a whole topic on its own and 99 percent don't know how. Me included.

if temps are staying below 90c and its not throttling its fine

aio can make it worse on low end boards, air cooler keep airflow over the boards vrm area, if the board has no heatsinks on the mosfets they will overheat faster with a clc

I didn't base that on Gameinput services rather other things he said about the crashes and the fact he had a Thermaltake PSU and a budget Thermaltake at that.

First thing to do is just some basic checks for gameinputsvc.exe.

Cpu cooling ok?

Cpu model?

Game play ok before?

Game settings ok?

Try going back to the last gpu driver before the launch of the 5090?

Mods?

Check task manager to see if you have a hdd stuck running at 100%?

The game on your hdd? Assuming the 4tb is a hdd and not an ssd.

You check the games forum using the search function and maybe the term freeze , frozen , crash ?

I looked into the Thermaltake PSU's and the series was strange as there were two types:

Smart (non-Japanese capacitors)
Smart BM3 (Japanese capacitors)

Seems as though Japan is world-class for those capacitors because the other person popped in a Corsair which uses Japanese capacitors on mid-high tier series and the system is stable. :csd2smile:

My EVGA Gold SuperNova G2 has Japanese capacitors and going strong for 8 years now. :sadisthappy:

When I had that GameInput Service EV error, I had to disable a few things about MS xBox GameBar and something else I cannot put my finger on; however, my system is very stable as I don't update Windows much. :100percent:
