Hey!

My computer crashes while playing games. when the crash happens i get a sound loop and vertical stripes. Mostly i get one or two minor freezes before this happens like in diablo 3. I have wiped the drivers and reinstalled them to no effect.

This doesn't happen in windows or anywhere else but in the games cpu and ram seems to normal since their useage nor temp is high while playing.

My graphics card amd HD6970 is about four years old.
 
-make sure ur pc is not overheating
-lower ur gpu clock with msi and rise the fan speed.
-at Control Panel>Power Option make it high performance

if none of this work do the bake trick.GOOD LUCK!
