Recently released AAA PC game crashes to desktop after 20 minutes; seeking deeper tr

[Amelia_G]

I've been trying to play a recently released AAA title on my PC, which meets the recommended specifications, but I keep experiencing random crashes to desktop about twenty minutes into any gameplay session, with no error message. I've updated my graphics drivers, verified the game files through the launcher, and even lowered the graphics settings, but the problem persists. For others who have dealt with similar frustrating game crash fixes, what deeper troubleshooting steps should I try next, like checking Windows event logs for specific error codes, adjusting virtual memory, or testing for potential hardware issues like overheating or RAM instability, and how do you isolate whether it's a game bug or a problem with your system?
