PBO(2?) Issue

Doco
Level 9
Hey,

I was hoping I could get some help with an issue I think I'm experiencing - I my setup :

5900x / Asus dark hero x570 - (ek-quantum momentum rog crosshair viii hero monoblock)
8-pack/Team Group RIPPED 16gbx2 - 3600MHz CL 16
G1 980Ti/ EK waterblock
Seasonic X-Series 850w 80+ Gold

My cpu is running at stock, the Ram is DOCP 3600mhz, my GPU is overclocked

I had been experiencing frequent game crashes on my 2 most played games - those 2 being Assassins Creed Valhalla and GTA : Online, I am aware that Valhalla has/had a known issue where it would crash to desktop randomly after an extended period of time, and had experienced that before but I suddenly had been experiencing it alot more frequently - making both games unplayable, while also getting sudden crashes in GTA Online also - whereas I previously had not

the games would crash to desktop - my system would stay on, no hard reset etc but both games would just close, as if some-one had pressed the x button on the program, checking event viewer would give me an generic appcrash and Exception Code: (0x)c0000005

this started the week after I dissembled my PC to do some routine cleaning so initially I was wondering if I had damaged something - I slowly started to revert settings to stock - first the GPU OC, then the Ram DOCP and the CPU PBO OC - or so I thought

I had initially had pbo enabled in motherboard via asus tab which has the dynamic switcher, after reassembly I had enabled PBO from within the amd overclocking section - I wanted to see what I could achieve with curve optimization, it didn't seem to net me much of a difference from what I seen, I thought I had disabled PBO but turns out I hadn't- it was still enabled in the amd overclocking menu - I had made 0 changes to the cores/curve optimiser - they were still default, but I had set the limits to "motherboard"

After disabling this I have basically had 0 issues, from being unable to get 10-30 min playtime in valhalla to being able to complete the game

Does anyone had any advice on what could have been causing instability in games with PBO enabled/what settings I would need to change with PBO enabled to get it stable?

Many thanks in advance

I'm having the same issue of crashes to the desktop with multiple games and have not found a solution yet. I have not changed any settings in PBO so that is something else I can look at.
