i've contacted EA and they said to clear Origin cache  ....

let's see

part of the cache clearing process they advised to run CCleaner .... sure that has got nothing to do with cache clearing!

I have 1080ti and experienced random crashing even though the card never overheated. People suggested it was most likely a power supply issue but I stressed everything and never found out what was causing it. I was close to packing it up and sending the power supply off for replacement as it was under warranty, while unscrewing it I found that next to the mains plug was an 'eco' switch Id never noticed before....flicked it and never had a problem since, apparently its a known issue. Anyway...all I can say is....always consider the power supply.

ok thanks.

i have a corsair rm850x (i think it's x) and googling doesn't suggest any eco switches ... but good to know.

They'll be meaning for you to flush out Windows caches etc as well just to be safe. Its surprising where Windows hides stuff....... ;)

CCleaner can flush out windows cache?

do i just run the whole thing or is there a special way to just clear cache?

i might read up a bit on that - the last i heard it had a virus or that it cleared "too much" stuff

Run it, and check thru the options its going to clean - I tend to not clean my cookies and password etc on the browsers

ok thanks.

I had a my gaming PC crashing while ago, (in any app) I put up with for months, I thought it was my RAM as I had added more or the video card driver as it always had problems upgrading drivers,

I found this info on you tube->

Did what it said and read through the unreadable stuff and noticed the words ".EXE" in a word, googled it, it was my AV scanner, uninstalled it, never had a problem since.
