Random crashing

Question

Over the past few days I have been having a weird issue where my steam games just crash when I try and open them. Sometimes these crashes freeze my whole pc or just make it shutdown. It's gotten to be really annoying because every new game I buy I have to return because I can't get in. Im not sure what I should do to try and fix this issue because I don't know what is going on. In event manager under admin events there are tons of errors and warnings that fire on the crash of the game or of my PC. The majority of these error codes are DistributedCOM, TPM-WMI, and devicesetupmanager.

the codes are as follows

DistributedCOM-The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

{2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54}

and APPID

{15C20B67-12E7-4BB6-92BB-7AFF07997402}

to the user BRENNENZ\Brennen SID (S-1-5-21-291529880-2633423058-3633566781-1001) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

TPM-WMI-The Secure Boot update failed to update a Secure Boot variable with error Secure Boot is not enabled on this machine.. For more information, please see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2169931

I am at a complete loss of what to do, any help would be amazing.

Answer 3

Hello Brennen Chynoweth,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Microsoft Answers Community.

We cannot determine the issue from the error messages.

However, since you have mentioned that sometimes they freeze the computer, please go to file explorer->This PC->C drive->Windows->minidump, and upload the DMP files to a file-sharing service for our analysis.

Also, since the issue related to "device setup manager", please check whether the drivers are installed properly. You can update the drivers via Windows update. To do so, right-click Start->Settings->Windows update. Check and install all available updates, including the optional ones in advanced options. You can also try using the drivers from the computer/motherboard's manufacturer. After installing the drivers, please reboot the computer, and see whether the issue persists.

We look forward to your response.
