Event ID 1000 -- POE2 and other major games crash to desktop.

Yes, I've had multiple crashes with BSOD. I just got another error. Dropping info below. Multiple crashes to desktop in the last couple hours. Conducting RAM check now. Will repost when it is complete.

Thanks for the update, that’s helpful.

That RAM test result basically confirms it: you’ve got a hardware issue. If Windows Memory Diagnostic is detecting failures, then that alone is enough to explain the crashes, game instability, and BSODs.

If anything, you can power down, pull all RAM sticks out, and boot the machine with just one stick at a time. Run the memory test again after each. That’ll help identify if just one module is faulty.

Hello, and welcome to the Xbox Community! I'd be happy to help you today.

Let's discard first any errors with your RAM. Go to the Start menu, type Windows Memory Diagnostic, run it, and choose the “restart and check” option. If you want a deeper scan, use MemTest86 on a bootable USB and let it run overnight. RAM errors often cause this kind of crash under heavy load (like gaming).

Also, has any of this crashes ended in a BSOD?

**UPDATE**

I have run the Mem Diag tool. During the test it said there were hardware failures/issues. I have tried to pull the results from Event Viewer, but they are not there. Running the test again. Will update with either failure or results.

After some experimentation with different settings I found that this happens if fast vsync is enabled in the NVidia control panel.
