Dear all,
I recently bought a new gaming pc with the following specs:
Motherboard: Asrock z370 extreme4
Graphics card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Windforce OC
CPU: Intel core i5 8600k
RAM: 16gb (D416GB 3000-15 vengenace)
PSU: Corsair HX750i
SSD: 250GB M.2 960 evo from samsung
(Running Avira antivirus atm)
The system works perfectly fine apart from that it randomly crashes when playing games. I happen to notice this most during the witcher 3 at the moment (as that is the game I am primarily playing now) but it also occured in Fallout 4 for example. When this happens the screen freezes (Still displaying a still image of the game) while the sound keeps playing in the backgroud, this can happen after about 45 minutes of playing or much longer (like 2 hours). It seems as though I am still able to input controls after the game froze as I can hear what is happening and it seems to still be playing (if that makes sense). When it happens during the witcher 3 I simply Alt-Tab out of the game and this also seems to close the game, as if it fully crashes upon doing this. I already have checked the event viewer for certain errors but it does not seem to display anything useful and I have also monitored the GPU and CPU temps during the game, these seem to be fine as well( 75C at max for GPU and 60C Max for CPU or so). I also did the Windows Memory diagnostic which gave no errors. As I am not an expert in this field I have no idea what I can further do to fix this and what might be wrong. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
