My pc freezes randomly when I play certain games such as skyrim or wow. When it happens the whole computer locks up and I have to hard shutdown. During the freeze my sound also gets bugged and sets in a repetitive buzzing loop. The only thing i have recently upgraded is i put in a new graphics card over the last week or two. My computer specs are below.
I also just clean installed windows 7 64 bit when I installed this graphics card. I am wondering if it is the card or a driver compatibility issue. The graphics card is the only new hardware.
It never happens unless I am in one of the games and it is just after some random amount of time, my graphics card temperature is usually between 40-47 during these games it does not get to even 50 celcius.
GPU - just upgraded to a Sapphire OC version Radeon HD 7850 1GB
PSU- Corsair Enthusiast Series CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V v2.2
CPU - Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor
MB - GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD4P LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
Ram - CORSAIR Vengeance 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
I have the most up to date driver for catalyst and graphics card, monitor the graphics card through msiafterburner, have gotten this crash at default gpu settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated I do not know what I should do to fix this problem and it is very frustrating.
