IT LIVES! So reinstalling windows has fixed the problem, so the problem must have been with the physX drivers (or some other software related issue) that got corrupted when the game crashed. Thanks for all your help.

I can't remove physX System Software, it seems to be corrupted (no amount of registry editing and other tricks have succeeded). I'm going to bite the bullet and reinstall windows

Yes I have, it made no difference. I have also put the graphics card into another system and it works fine in there. So it could be the motherboard or even the CPU?

I have uninstalled MSI Afterburner, and there is no difference...

Sorry, the voltages are as follows CPU Core - 1.064V CPU I/O - 1.016V System/3.3V - 3.392V System/5V - 5.080V System/12V - 12.232V DRAM - 1.488V

Ok so the BIOS tells me the CPU is at 46 degrees, if MSI Afterburner is off by 14 ish then the CPU may have been hitting around the 75 mark under load. The voltage reading was 1.056V

I use MSI Afterburner to monitor temps and I have found that the CPU rarely exceeds 60 degrees, the GPU can hit 80 but rarely. Idle CPU temps are around 32. I will also now check on the bios for the voltages.

Let me explain my predicament... So I built my PC back in September 2013 with the following specs: Motherboard - MSI Z87-G45 CPU - Intel Core i5 5670k (Stock Cooler) GPU - EVGA GTX 770 Superclocked W/ ACX Cooler RAM - 2 x G.Skill Ripjaws X 4GB HDD(s) - 1TB HDD + SanDisk 64GB SSD And it has run...

Hi, I am currently using a cheap 21.5" 1080p monitor, which was fine for my old pc, however I now have a much better pc and feel like I need a new monitor. I have a budget of about £250 (about $400) and I am currently torn between two options, 3D or 2.5k... On one side 2.5k seems to be the...

I have decided on the XFX P1 Pro 850W PSU, as internally it is identical to the TX850 but at a cheaper price (£79.99) Thanks again for the help

How about Thermaltake? Are they as good/better than Corsair, because there is a semi-modular 850w for around the same price as the TX850 It's the SP-850M http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-power-supply-sp850m

Ok, I was doubting whether 750W was enough, is the corsair the best value 'Good Quality' PSU? And is it worth spending more to get a modular one? I am thinking of aesthetics with cable clutter, also I know a lot of wires lying around can interfere with cooling, is this likely to be a problem or...

After putting up with an old Dell PC for the last 4 years, and with all the brilliant looking games coming out this year, I have decided to finally build a new one. Approximate Purchase Date: 1-2 weeks Budget Range: £900 - £1000 max System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Internet...

Ok, I have done some ping tests. iPad to www.google.com over wireless to the Belkin router: 20 tests, these are the times in ms 39 47 45 40 53 45 44 39 124 45 40 46 45 39 44 45 45 42 44 45 round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 39.150/48.342/124.182/17.712 Then the same tests again from the PC...

Ok, sorry for the delay. I found the router I used before the Belkin (A Thompson one) and ran speed tests on that one. Here are the results over two devices: PC - Wireless - Belkin - 5.2MB/s (Unstable) PC - Wired - Belkin - 9.87 MB/s (Unstable) PC - Wireless - Thompson - 6.4 MB/s (Unstable)...
