So I've built my first PC last week. Build went fine, everything is up and running smoothly. The only issue I am having is actually playing games. I've got Arkham Origins through Steam and AC: Origins through Uplay, both of which are having issues, albeit different ones.
Arkham Origins runs fine until I get to the first boss fight. About 2 mins into the fight, the screen will black out (except for the health bars) and I can no longer see anything, yet the game still runs. I can hear audio, I continue to lose health, etc. If I pause the game, the menu does come up and I can restart to the last checkpoint and it has no issues... until I get to the boss fight again and it repeats the behavior.
AC: Origins will allow me to start up the game and play for a little while before it completely crashes and takes me back to the home screen of my PC. I've tried lowering the setting on the game, but it does it regardless of what the setting are set on. When it crashes, the system says nothing of an error happening. The screen goes black and I am back on my desktop screen.
First things first, here is my build...

Second, we should be able to knock a few things off right off the bat. Temp doesn't seem to be an issue. @ idle, it runs between 32-35C. I checked the temps while running the game and it sits right at 50-52C. I notated the last time that AC crashed and it was at 56C. This goes both for the CPU and the GPU. They seem to run right at the same temp most of the time.
I've also uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers and the games. Same issue seems to be happening.
Any suggestions on where to look next? My next guess would be the RAM, however I'm not sure on how to check functionality or performance on that.
Any and all help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
