I recently upgraded my desktop, ever since then whenever I'm playing a game for a certain period of time, the screen goes all red, the sound loops and the pc eventually hard resets. I have no idea what's causing this issue. Below is my hardware:
What's new:
GPU: Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 clocked at 1000 MHz
CPU: Intel Haswell 4670k i5 clocked at 3.4 GHz (stock)
Memory: 8 GB DDR3 kingston 1600 MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte z87-HD3
The only things that I carried forward from my old rig were:
1) Cougar 1000CM 80 plus PSU 1000W (4 years old)
2) 2 WD Black Hard drives (7200 RPM)
I am running the latest Catalyst 14.6 beta drivers and I tested the card on Crysis 3 and Watch Dogs so far, both crash after a while of playing.
I've been monitoring the temperatures while playing and they are all within normal limits. the GPU reached a maximum of 80 degrees while the CPU cores reached a maximum of about 70 so the crashing is not an issue of temperature.
Could this be faulty drivers, a faulty component or maybe the PSU?
