Hi, I've exhausted all options bar a re-format which I don't really want to do and would be grateful for advice.
Around a month ago I built a PC, it's been absolutely perfect up to now, but the last couple of days I've had 5 or 6 occasions where the screen has gone grey, and sound been on a distorted 1 second loop, forcing me to hard reboot. I've checked event viewer, can't see any errors to point to what it is, I've run CPU/GPU stress tests on OCCT, this found no errors, temp is fine. Checked my drivers, all up to date. Other than some games (which I have now uninstalled), I've made no software changes that could have caused this. This has only happened so far when I'm actually in game.
My PC - Win10 (clean install from Win7), i7-4790k 4.00ghz, Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3 MB, 16GB 1866mhz Hyper Fury RAM, MSI GTX 970, Corsair H40 liquid cooler, Sandisk ultra II 240GB SSD. 700W power supply. Using MB for the sound.
EDIT: So playing in windowed mode I managed to recover from the freeze and got a Kernal mode driver error. Still cant get around it, but its given me new avenues to explore for now
