Does this look right???
I have a GPU problem with games - any games - they just freeze after 1 to 5 minutes and I have to restart the PC.
A friend told me I might have IRQ conflict, so I checked and it looks like the GPU uses the same IRQ as some kind of USB chipset...
Also I have no idea if it's normal to have that many Microsoft ACPI compliant system IRQs or negative numbers for IRQs.
I don't see an option to manually change the USB and/or the GPU IRQ number - it is grayed out in "properties".
There are no yellow triangles anywhere and "properities| show a "No conflict detected" even tho it's clearly labeled with the same number.

If this is some problem that I can resolve maybe that will clear my GPU issue and I will close my other post with a solution at the end.
I don't want this to be a duble post. This might be a separte problem that I want to try and see what can I do about it.

My specs:
MB ASROCK Z87M Extreme 4
PSU Raidmax 735 Wats 80 Bronze
CPU Intel Core i7-4770 @ 3.40GHz watercooled
GPU Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 2GB RAM
RAM 8GB HyperX blu
SSD Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB
OS Windows 10 Pro x64
monitor is Asus 1080p @ 60Hz trough HDMI

I did a fresh install of Windows. Is it possible old HDDs from older systems to interfere in any way?
I removed them to be sure for the fresh install, but the GPU issue remained.
Can the SSD cause games to crash? It did cause my PC to shut down unexpectedly while idle and I had to update it's firmware to make that stop.
Before that I didn't even knew they had a firmware that can be changed. It runs fine now, but now this gaming problem showed up out of nowhere...

I posted a reply just before, seems I was mistaken... IRQ problems can still happen, but I lean towards your video card being the problem. Check to make sure it is not dirty and clogged up, test it in another computer.
 


I haven't seen an IRQ conflict in ages (10 plus years), to me it is like hearing a stampede and thinking zebras not horses.

if it was an IRQ conflict, I would expect the problem to happen even in 2D not only when the card is pushed. What you describe is more like a damaged card, at least to me.
 
i would go to here and download the Asrock App Store. run it and it will confirm you have the latest drivers - http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z87M%20Extreme4/#Download

I think windows knows how to juggle IRQ's now, its been doing it for 17+ years. I remember thinking I had to manually assign them when I first got 98 and only messing PC up more, have left them alone ever since.

I would download HWINFO, run it and set it to sensors only at start up. Once next window pops up, one of the buttons along bottom is for logging. Set it to run in background and once PC crashes, check the logs and see if the temps are low or if any of the voltages look strange.
