About 6 months ago, my computer started freezing at random times whenever I played any game. It was usually 5-10 minutes in when it starts to freeze. I hand't made any changes to my computer and it was working fine before. After days of frustration not being able to fix the problem, I decided to restore my computer to factory settings and it fixed the problem. Now just yesterday, the same exact thing started happening again randomly.
What happens: About 5 minutes into ANY game, the screen freezes and I can't do anything. I can still hear the sounds (including skype) but nothing else works. The ONLY thing that unfreezes the game is when I Ctrl + Alt + Del and click on the back arrow, or open up task manager. But it freezes again usually in a minute or two. Every once in a while, on the bottom right a pop up
shows up saying that my display driver has stopped working.
I have tried uninstalling my drivers and reinstalling them but that doesn't fix the problem. If anyone has any idea on how to fix this issue, I'd really appreciate it.
My specs:
Nvidia GeForce Gtx 660 Ti
Intel Core i7-3770k CPU @ 3.50Ghz 3.90GHz
Corsair 750w psu
8GB of ram
