This just started happening when i updated from 4.6 to 4.8.3 and now it still happens in 4.9. although i never really used 4.6 (i used UDK in the past) because i needed to do other things before starting this project, so idk if this wouldn’t have happened in 4.6. i just never experienced a freeze the few times i did use it.
Before i go any further, yes, i have checked the other posts about this. i’ve decided to start a new question or thread because those all closed because the solutions worked for them, all of them did not stop the crashing for me. I’ve updated every hardware device i could. i installed MSI afterburner and underclocked my GPU, i’ve tried messing with anything i could and it still happens. My GPU does get hot (60c) when UE4 is open or when im playing a game, but i’ve read that 60c isnt that hot for a GPU and shouldnt cause this, plus it only freezes when UE4 is open. Not the launcher but the editor
So unfortunately there is no definitive thing that causes the crashes, its seemingly random. one time ill be able to import 3 or more meshes and even test it, other times upon loading a new level it’ll freeze. the only thing i think i might be doing on my end is not clicking or interacting with it for 15+ seconds. but its also happened when im mid mouse movement. Everything completely freezes, sound glitches then cuts out, then after about 20 seconds the screen goes black and my PC restarts itself, but is slow afterward so i have to restart it again. once it crashed and the screen didnt go black but immediately after freezing the whole screen glitched and turned into green and pink squares with smalleer black squares inside them. i dont know if its a setting or if im in a dev unstable mode or what but i cant get any work done at all because of this.
i downloaded coconut express (which is someones small project on ue4) and even that froze then restarted my computer after 30 seconds!
My specs are:
{i7-5820k}
Nvidia GTX 770 2gb
{8gb RAM}
Windows 8.1
i downloaded 4.9 from the official site so i guess its a binary build (idk if im using that right so dont me)
If anyone has any insight or experienced this, please let me know. thanks in advance!
