Computer is getting low (maybe capped frames) on games that I should be getting much higher. And also crashing occasionally.

Hi,

So I recently built my computer:

I7-6700K
GTX 1060 MSI
16 GB of Corsair Ram
650W PSU
MSI Z170A GAMING Motherboard
1 TB HD
Hyper 212 Evo Processor Cooler
Windows 10 64 Bit

and I get like 400 frames on LoL and 250 on CSGO both at max settings. However sometimes they crash (the screen freezes and I'm forced to restart). I know it cannot be a problem that my computer can't "handle the games" because GeForce Experience is recommending that I run it on basically maxed settings, and that brings me to the problem. When I load the game mainly my computer starts to freeze up a little and then completely freezes and I have to restart. I've done the Xbox DVR thing and used razer game booster, but nothing seems to be working. Also when I'm able to play GTA occasionally I seem to be capped at 60 frames on normal settings even though I should be able to run much better than that.

Thanks for the help guys, Luke

well first things first, check your temps when your gaming, see if there getting to high and causing freezing, second, you probably have vsync on for gta if its locked at exactly 60 fps

Thanks a lot man this helped a lot! I'll have to make sure I'm still not crashing. Really appreciate it bro, also my core temps are all normal.

your cpu temps are normal, but how about your gpu ?

Yep. around 50C, I just crashed, however the V sync thing helped with frames.

So I figured out the problem, I needed to have my ram in the 1-3/2-4 configuration on my motherboard (mine was 3-4). I also went into the BIOS and changed my MhZ to 2400. Thanks guys
