Overheating and crashing

[Januxii]

Hello! Recently i've been getting some big problems with my GPU(i think). It all started when i plugged in a second monitor, my computer will freeze completely (all sound goes away too) and the only way to fix is my holding the off button to restart the computer, i think it is happening when my GPU reaches 70 degrees celsius.

PC Specs:
XFX Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5
Intel® Core i7-3770K Processor
Silver Power SP-S750M 750W PSU
ASUS P8Z77-V LX, Socket-1155


Need more info? please be specific

well its not overheating, i think it could be a driver issue, download the latest beta drivers (13.8) and driver fusion.

uninstall current driver and dont restart.
run driver fusion amd driver cleaner then restart.
install driver as custom and only install the display and hdmi driver.

see if this helps.

package includes both 32 and 64bit windows 7 and 8 drivers so no need to worry about which version they are.

Worked perfectly fine, up until just now when it happened again in the middle of a ranked match on League of Legends

what antivirus are you using by the way?

also make sure your motherboards bios is up to date.

avast

Have used it on multiple computers and it has never been a problem..

 

[mauller07]

i would get rid of avast it is a terrible system hog and can cause all sorts of strange problems and system slowdowns.

personally i have removed it from many computers and it has fixed all sorts of problems simply by removing it.

i would also run ccleaner file cleaner then the registry cleaner multiple times after removing it.

replace it with avg or commodo instead.

Tried to update my bios but ASUSUpdate says that it only works on ASUS motherboards, well I HAVE AN ASUS MOTHERBOARD....

grab the newer bios, extract the rom to a usb stick and use easy update in the bios itself.

It's not a ROM it's a CAP

 

[mauller07]

well whatever the file is in the zip and extract it and put it on a usb stick then use the easy update in the bios itself to update your bios.

When your PC is starting keep pressing delete or f2 it should say on the first screen you see before windows starts

I don't get a Motherboard Logo screen with any guidance. I just get a black screen with a line of text in the upper left corner, tell me if you need to know what it says... I don't really know cause it shows for 1 sec. Something about Gigabit and ethernet.

EDIT: When i press F2 it just asks if i want to run "Windows 7" or "Windows Memorytreatment" <- translated from norwegian
