Hey, I have a problem with my computer freezing while playing (moderately) demanding games such as Saints row IV. This is exactly what happens: launch the game and everything goes smoothly, play the game for a few minutes with PC running perfectly fine at good temperatures then bam! It freezes and I can't do anything but turn my PC off. I don't know what the problem is, as I tested and troubleshooted all these possible causes:
GPU runs at 76-79 degrees Celsius (well within the range for a 780ti)
CPU runs at good temps (40-60 Celsius)
CPU not overclocked!
GPU has stock overclock on it from EVGA (it is the reference EVGA superclocked)
RAM- I have had the same RAM for 4 builds now so I doubt this is the issue
mobo has most recent bios - nothing went wrong when updating BIOS
no conflicting sound cards/ driver (EVGA support tried to tell me this was the issue)
no old drivers from previous hardware
PSU voltages are within spec
PSU definitely has enough power for build under full load.
Note: I probably missed some of the things I looked into.
Here are the specs of my build:
intel i7 3770 (non k) with h110 water cooler
nVidia GTX 780ti reference cooler
samsung 500gb 840 evo ssd
16gb ADATA 1600mhz RAM
850w ULTRA 80 plus silver PSU
3840x2160 asus monitor
I use evga percision x 16 for gpu monitoring and I have no other software that might conflict with it.
I don't know what the issue is, any help would be great.
PS. you don't have to dumb anything down for me, I know my way around the block.
