Hello all, I appreciate you clicking and reading my post. Hopefully you can help me out.
Probably a month back I have been having issues with games (some worse than others) crashing and I was chalking it up to beta (the main game I play is in closed beta)... But I think I may have worse issues than a game just being in beta. I would have occasional hang ups where windows would freeze and make a pretty bad sound in my headphones until I have to hold the power button to shut my pc down along with occasional BSOD with windows 10. One of the errors said it could possibly bad ram.
I have updated to the newest windows 10 updates, and cleaned my drivers with DDU. So far, this has ended any issues with my OS hanging up and BSODing.
It's very odd though. I have a GTX670... Yeah my rig is a little over 3 years old now, but why is my gpu running at 95-100% constantly? In the game I have started playing I get around 150-180 frames (fps counter on shadowplay)... Why doesn't my GPU calm down a little and just run me at like 70 or 80 frames instead?
I guess my main question is, what do you guys think it is that's crashing my games? The games normally don't freeze. They just instantly drop/die and then I'm just staring at my desktop background.
Is my GPU just killing the game cuz it's over worked? Or could this be a ram thing? It seems to only happen when I am playing video games. When things aren't intensive, everything runs great and fine.
GPU temps are fine. I will be running memory diagnostic tool overnight, but I ran the first extended run and got to 88% with no problems. More on that later.
Also my GPU isn't doing weird artifacting things like most people report, so it isn't easy to diagnose that it's going bad.
I also changed in the setting in windows that set my power usage to always run at max capacity or w\e cuz that can cause issues with ur OS hanging up apparently.
What could be just instantly killing the games like that?
