Hi AlucardZetsu, Has this been resolved? I assume that UE does not like having other software interfering with the fps count on tick; try and disable those software from the task manager, if you have any. If you get any editor(UE) logs about this, it would be good to have a look at it to figure out when the process goes wrong. ---

This was happening to me in UE 5.0.3 on a pretty basic content project. Removing all Alienware software from my Dell fixed the problem! There are two services running in the BG that appeared to be the main culprits but I just uninstalled anything that said Alienware for insurance. ---

I had the same issues with my nvidia 3080 fe and ryzen 5600x CPU. If you have RivaTuner running then that is most likely the problem, I closed it down and I no longer had any crashes. Hopefully this helps ---

Hello everyone, I had this problem and tried EVERYTHING related to the system, but nothing worked, including reinstalling Windows. I was using cable extensions for PCIe, and it only worked on PCIe 3.0. So, I plugged my GPU into the motherboard and switched PCIe to 4.0, and now it’s working better than it ever has before. ---

Hyper0206 solution worked for me: So changing the renderer from DX12 to DX11 in UE5.1 worked for me. In your UE project, go to **project settings\> search ‘RHI’\> Platforms Windows\> change ‘Targeted RHIs’ from DX12 to DX11** ---

Setting ReflectionCaptureResolution to 128 from 256 fixed the wonkiness for me when trying to open the Lyra sample project. This YouTube video by JSFILMZ helped me a lot.

I tried opening Lyra and it showed this problem. The solution was `"LyraStarterGame\Config\DefaultEngine.ini"` `r.RayTracing=True->False` `r.Lumen.HardwareRayTracing=True->False` `r.ReflectionCaptureResolution=256->16` //Don’t think this did anything much, but still I changed this too.
