hey guys, tell me what yous think about this, i ran 3d mark fire strike test as im having system issues. Whats strange is i recieve high bench marking scores, but when i stress test i keep getting different results, sometimes i pass but most time it fails, ive tried 3dmarks different tests and much the same issues. Csgo keeps crashing, im experiencing FPS drops and stutters, even my whole system froze and i could not load anything no matter how many times i had to hard restart, i ended up system restore and then the issue happened again and i just recently reset my pc.
im on windows 8.1. Could this possible be a SSD issue??

Solution
Well normally you would want to be gaming at the full resolution of the monitor at 144hz, but we need to experiment to see if we can make the crashing stop. If we can do that, we might have a better idea of the problem.

Try with and without vsync, with and without gsync, at different refresh rates and resolutions... I had a hunch that the games might have a problem with your resolution/refresh rate but if it still crashes at 1080p 60Hz that might not be the case. I'm just confused as to why it crashes in games but no stress tests/benchmarks, that makes me think that it's not a hardware issue but rather a software issue of some kind.


thanks for your reply, yeah i'm definantly going to muck around with a few settings and keep trying tests, and research research research!
