MSI GTX 970 Overheat/Crash Problems

[wseamon12]

About 2x a day, while playing either CS:GO or Dirty Bomb or Rocket Leauge, etc (Graphic Intensive-ish), my computer either freezes mid game or bsod. I can hear the fans really start to spin, and I cant pull up the afterburner to see the temp while playing, but from the fans and the crashing, I think it is overheating. It doesn't do it at the start, so its not a driver issue. I am running them at 1440p max/high. I get 60-40fps easy. I don't know what the problem is. IT IS NOT OVERCLOCKED, long story. I do have cable management issues, but it isn't that bad, it is all jammed near the SSD's

Are you certain its not a drivers issue? It doesn't hurt to update them regularly. Hell some guy fixed his problem by updating his drivers 2 minutes ago

I was looking into my drivers and found the only games that crash in this fashion are the "Game Ready" games listed on the GeForce Experience page. My driver was 1 update behind, but it said it was all for VR. I'll check in when the driver is installed and I will check the games.
