Hello,
I recently built a new gaming rig, and seem to be having issues when trying to run most of my games.
I have an Intel 4690k 3.5ghz CPU, a GTX660 GPU, and an ASUS Z97-A mobo, all inside of a huge full case with lots of fans and a nice cpu heatsink. What I would think is all the bells and whistles as far as hardware goes.
I first installed windows 8.1, which I regretted from day 1.. I went through and downloaded all the updates and drivers and what not. I couldnt play a single game more than like 2 minutes before it'd crash.
The screen would freeze, and the audio would start looping.. And many times it was hard to even get the task menu up to end the task. More often than not I would have to do a hard reboot.
So then I upgraded to the new windows 10 technical preview edition or w/e. Ive been a lot happier so far as far as general tasks go on a day to day basis. A few of my games even play without crashing at all. But, the majority of my games still crash after just a couple minutes of playing them. They run flawlessly up to the crash, as far as fps goes, it looks great, and runs smooth, and then bam!, it crashes. Never any error report either, which makes me even more confused as to how to fix this issue.
So that's why I'm here, I am hoping one of you might know more about this type of thing that I do.
*Edit* I've monitored the temps closely and nothing is overheating..
Id appreciate any help,
Thanks,
-Harry
