Odd reason for game crashing; graphics card appears to be issue.

Recently, I have been playing games on my computer, and the game will freeze for about 5 seconds. The current audio clip being played will stutter, and then I will be alt-tabbed out of the game. I try and re-tab in, but it just doesn't let me. Right when this happens, my GPU temp his 0C. Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?

Also, it should be noted that my temps are always around 60C on my GPU, so I highly doubt that this is an overheating issue.

Hey man, tell us more about your system. What gpu? What are your other specs. We need some more info.

Anyways, first thing you'll want to try is re installing the drivers. Uninstall your current drivers and then go to the website of either amd or nvidia (not sure because you didn't list it) and download the newest drivers.

See if that fixes the problem. If not then try reseating the gpu in the slot.
