Hello! I`m currently having some problems with my computer. I recently uptdated to Win 8.1. After I did that i`ve been having some trouble. The thing is that my pc freezes. Usually while loading BF4 maps, but also at other stuff, like after an GPU benchmark, but not while doing a benchmark (For now).

I did not have issues like this with Win 7.

I do belive it is because of windows 8, i`m a little afraid it is my GPU. Altough I don`t think it is that.


My specs

CPU : 4770k OC 4,2 -1.250V

GPU`S : SLI ASUS GTX 770 DC2

16 gb ram (Don`t remember name atm)

PSU : Corsair 760i

Motherboard : Asrock z87 killer fatality

It is not my CPU temps.

Not my GPU temps.

Not my MOBO Temps.

Most probably not my PSU.

Anyone with any similar problems and/or solutions?

**UPDATE**

Seems like flasing aka updating bios on my gpu`s fixed the crashing! Did two benchmarks in a row and no problem. Also played some Assasin`s Creed : Black Flag without problems. The thing is, of course now my BF4 have screen flickering like crazy.

You solve a problem and along comes a new one. When will this stop?..



Anyone know a fix for this?

Edit : seems like it`s just a new BF4 patch that caused it for SLI/CF users.

Sigh...

My cards were working perfectly until today... When I started crashing again..now during games!


Should I just give up and return the card?

The only things I did today was installing a few games, installing Java and AVG updating some shit.

hm, it seems like I also crash with only 1 card now!
