I just upgraded my RAM, GPU, and CPU fan before getting Fallout 4. It detects Ultra settings now, but I lower to High for better performance. At random times when playing, sometimes as soon as it loads my profile, the whole PC will freeze and I am forced to do a hard restart. I've completely uninstalled the nvidia drivers and reinstalled them.
The gpu doesn't overheat and I have used the EVGA Precision X to ensure that the fans are going while I play. I've tried using the previous stick of 4GB ram and it still happens so I am not sure if it is the RAM. The BIOS is not the latest, but I've read that it is not necessary to update it. I have the RAM sticks in the dual-channel slots but that are unganged. I don't know if that makes a difference. I've also set the CPU to D.O.C.P.
I've used a power supply calculator and it looks like I have plenty, even though the PSU could be faulty I guess. I was able to run games like Arma 3 at high settings for a long period of time with no issue. I just have no idea what is causing this.
These are my specs:
Mobo: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 965
RAM: 2 x 4GB Crucial Ballistix DDR3 1600 9-9-9-24
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB GDDR5
PSU: Mod X Stream Pro 600W
At random times the computer will restart entirely on its own. It usually freezes during a game, and randomly restarts in use.
I've ran the chkdsk command and no issues were found, so I don't think there is a bad sector on the hard drive. It does not BSOD, it just simply freezes or restarts randomly.
