Help .. is it the gpu or a cpu issue?

[pierrejustme]

Hello,

I've bought a few days ago a kit i5-4670k+asus z97-a. As a videocard i'm currently using a gigabyte gtx650 ti with 2BG of memory. The problem is that when i play a game ( WoT or Crysys2) i can't play more that 4-5 minutes because it stops/freezes the game and i get back on desktop just like using the alt+tab command.
After removing the videocard .. i've started the pc with only the gpu integrated in cpu and i could play as normal.

There seem to be no issues with temperatures on videocard , around 30 degrees celsius in idle and no moare than 50 in a game.

Do you have any suggestions/ideas of why this is happening?

Thank you.

If it works on integrated graphics it is defiantly the GPU. Try to CLEAN INSTALL your drivers for the GPU and see if it helps.

Are you using Release or BETA drivers? Also when you open Device Manager does anything show as having a problem?
