Games will freeze and crash my computer, why?

[Gregz777]

I have gone through 3 faulty CS750M's. I would be playing games such as A.C - Black flag and Battlefield 4. Both of which would freeze, forcing me to reset my computer, or crashing to an unresponsive desktop, forcing a restart anyway.

I have recently bought an AX860 to try and remedy the problem. The problem has persisted.

I do not know what to do at all to stop it. The other CS750M's may have been faulty, and getting the AX860 has prolonged my gameplay, but it prolongs the inevitable. I will crash. And I have had enough. This has persisted since January, I have gone through a lot of compromise, RMA'ing and metaphorically hitting my head against a wall to get this sorted, yet it won't stop.

I have updated all GPU drivers.

My specs are as follows:

i7 4770k

16gb Corsair Vengenace RAM.

Dark Rock 3 CPU cooler.

Z87 G65 MSI Gaming motherboard.

AX860 PSU.

250gb Samsung EVO SSD.

2tb HDD.

Gigabyte 780ti windforce edition.

What do I do next? I am out of options.

Download HWInfo and run Sensors. Post the results - to see if your overvolting the cpu, the cooler is working, the psu voltages are out of its the motherboard.

Hello

At this point it can be anything. Gaming with AAA games uses a lot of resources.
It can be a problem with the SSD as mush as a problem with memory.
So my suggestion is to try to localise the problem by giving load to specific parts.

3D mark, games with high GPU usage and low memory usage and vice versa, defragmenting your hard drives, compresing video comes to mind.

Kudos,

Nothing is seemingly out of place. Even if it is, the results are reset when my computer crashes anyway.

The same problem persisted with my old system with the same graphics card.

I have sent this graphics card off for RMA, yet they found it not faulty. I do not understand.

OK if you don't want to provide info, then its too hard to help you. Good luck.

I do, I just do not know how, there's a lot of info on here, and I've never used it before.

How can I share the info?

Well if not software, the VGA is ok and switching other hardware didnt solve the problem*, my guess is that it is overheating.

*these are crutial informations, why didnt you include them in the question? 😀
