Alright, I'll start off by saying that despite having a massive interest in technology i'm still fairly new to it all in terms of hardware and certainly solving issues with my hardware. So basically I opened up a game that I used to play quite often, I'd forgotten all about this problem that I used to have and the one that made me quit World of Warcraft originally.
basically the problem was that after a while of playing, maybe 30-40 minutes my PC would just black screen (still be powered on) and it would make a loud buzzing sound in my headphones until I powered off the PC, if I rebooted the PC it would boot up fine and everything would be fine and dandy once again, until I reached that 30 minute mark in the game once again. While playing less graphically straining games, such as League of Legends and Runescape I had very little issues, I had a CPU heating problem but that was something else entirely and that has been solved now. Is this a graphics card issue? I'm not sure if it's drivers, because this has happened after driver updates and it's the same issue every time.
My computer specs are:
CPU: i5 3570k
GPU: GeForce 560 Ti
Ram: 6GB DDR3
Hard disks: 3 regular hard disks (non solid state) totalling up to 900GB of storage
PSU: Corsair GS700
What could this problem be? Do I need to reseat my graphics card? Is it in fact a driver issue? Is it something else entirely?
