My games keep Crashing

[Napsta]

I've been noticing that after 15-20 minutes into a game I freeze and I get booted to my desktop while the game is still running,but I can no longer get back in the game and the only way to quit is to Ctrl+alt+delete. I've also been getting the "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" errors regularly.The game that I play that's guaranteed to crash are mainly Killing Floor 2 and Battle Field 3 my other games usually just freeze, I go into a black screen but the game comes back up after a few seconds. It's not an issue with the temperature because, I'm usually at 50-65c while gaming and 37-45c on idle . I've tried reinstalling , updating Drivers , downloading old drivers, set the game settings lower , but nothing seems to work. Another odd thing about my AMD control Center is , it doesn't let me change the GPU Clock(300MHz) or the Memory Clock(150MHz) Any leads?

Specs:
OS:Windows 7-64bit
MB:Asus M5A97 R2.0
CPU:AMD FX-8120 Zambezi 8-Core 3.1GHz
GPU:MSI R7 250X 2GD5 Radeon R7 250X 2GB
HDD:1 TB
RAM:8 GB
PSU:Corsair 500 watt

Thanks in Advance!

Good evening Lad

So what popped up for me was that you have an awesome pc, but when i saw you PSU(Power Supply my eyes stretched.)

I did a quick PSU calculation and I do believe when your psu starts taking pressure, its automatically cutting resources to protect itself.
Have a look at the following link,( https://www.dropbox.com/s/025h47fsrf6frij/Capture.PNG?dl=0 ) ill post dropbox

Below what you don't see is HDD value which i added your hdd on 5400RPM which i hope, otherwise its even worse.

you are pulling massive watts. so:

Solution:
Unplug a GPU(Graphics card) - see if its stable
Use that website : http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine
as i dont know if you are running watercooling, how many fans etc.

See if you can see if your fans are spinning slower(Indication that amps are low)

and see if you can borrow a bigger PSU before you buy(Recommended.)

All the luck. Keep this post update please.

Thanks for the post! I've spent the whole day yesterday testing my GPU and after I swapped out my PSU for a Corsair CX750 Power supply , the problem still exists. Any leads?

This is hard man, i don't wanna end up saying you have cancer but, it did sound like the pc just gives up on sucking resources.

Have you tried running the apps on one GPU? or do you keep both in....(suppose you did test one for one.)..
