I bought a gaming PC recently and when I started playing some games on it (Farcry 4, Fallout 4, Farcry 3 Blood Dragon, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare) it would crash at differing times depending on the game. Farcry and Fallout I can play for a good amount of time, usually around 2-3 hours. Call of Duty and Blood Dragon however would barely last 30 minutes... if that.
The crashes completely freeze up the computer. Nothing responds, no ctrl+alt+del, no alt+tab, nothing. There is a usually a loud buzzing sound that accompanies the crash and the only way to bring it back is to hit the reset button. It has even started happening when I leave the computer alone for about 5-15 minutes alt-tabbed out of games.
I had posted another thread and the general consensus was that it might be a Power Supply Issue but I really don't know and am starting to get pretty frustrated with this.
Current set-up:
Mobo: GA-78LMT-USB3 6.0
CPU: FX-8320
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX970
PSU: HPL-800BR-F14S (C) 800watts
I have ran Prime95 (20 minutes), Furmark (30 minutes), Windows Memory Diagnostic and it never happened.
I have been running CPUID HWmonitor in the background for quite some time now and trying to monitor the heat buildup. Here is what it looks like after playing Fallout 4 for about 20-30 minutes.
