Man this is so depressing, Right after i bought some awesome games from the sales
Yesterday after playing L.A Noire, I booted up Mark of the ninja when doing so my Computer Hung and i had to hard reset it, again after reset i try running the game alas windows 8 froze, so after the next reset i didn't start any games but again my windows 8 froze.
I thought something was wrong with the hard drive and used my other HD to install the OS, after installation, when computer booted for the first time, after a couple of minutes, again the whole computer froze, clearly my old hard drive or the new one wasn't the problem, so i removed my graphics card (8800gt) and i shoved in my back up entry level gcard and booted my system and guess what ? it booted just fine without any issues, so just to be sure i once again booted up windows 8 with 8800gt and windows 8 wouldn't boot past the loading screen, but after swtiching back to my back up card everything became fine.
Prior to this incident there were few issues with my card like drivers crashing and , i never have witnessed artifacts while playing games. once in a while the game froze and that's it but nothing like this. so is my card dead?
My graphics card temps were ok it was around 50 on idle and doesn't go beyond 65 or 70 on load
Also one more thing , my card is an alpha dog edition , so it was factory overclocked, and i was unable to play games as they consistently froze with the overclocked frequency's, only after under clocking the memory and core clocks i was able to play games.
Can some one tell me what caused this problem?
