Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/issues/1113

I’m experiencing a recurring issue where the software crashes immediately after launching. Occasionally, it does launch, but when it does, the screen is completely black. I spoke with someone on the Discord server, and they suggested that the issue might be caused by insufficient RAM. However, I have 32gb of ram installed, which should be sufficient. I was also only using about 10% of my available RAM when the crashes occurred, so I don't believe RAM is the issue, and here is the logs

It's a common issue, it depend of the game you try to run: Please check here https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadps4-game-compatibility/issues
