I recently moved my desk about 5 feet from it's original location and have moved my PC also.
Since doing this my pc has started freezing causing some apps to stop responding. I've only had this issue for a few hours but I've noticed that the apps that crash are Games.
They don't crash straight away, I managed to get 30 minutes of WoW and about an hour of DoTA 2.
I've been through made sure all wires aren't lose, checked the ram, dusted it, checked hdd cables and all is in working order. I am currently using Windows 10.
I thought it may be a Graphics card issue but it's virtually brand new (two months old) and I can't see anything visibly wrong with it. I've checked temperature levels and all seems about normal. (Not going above 65c under stress)
I've installed older graphics drivers and they appear to work for longer without freezing, if I update to the newest drivers then it freezes within 20 minutes. I did manage to get about 7 hours the other day without it freezing using the much older drivers.
When it crashes often any programme open goes ape until the game is closed. Chrome says that shockwave has crashed which doesn't happen regularly.
As I'm not an expert on software troubleshooting I'm quickly running out of ideas. Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
Computer Specs:
i7 4770K
Asus Sabertooth z97
HyperX FURY 16gb 1866MhZ (2x8gb)
Asus Strix GTX 980
Thanks again,
Alex.
