Hi everyone, I've been having issues while gaming for awhile now. During gaming (BF3, Fallout 4, any game really) I play for 10-25 minutes then the program crashes. And my settings aren't even high, for BF3 I'm on low settings for everything. It's stable outside of gaming while doing everyday tasks. I've tried everything that's supposed to work, I've removed all video drivers and reinstalled the newest ones multiple times, done two clean installs (both Windows 7 and Windows 10), removed each piece of RAM individually and nothing seems to help. I have attached pictures of my specs and Open Hardware Monitor just as the program crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's very frustrating.

any software required for the keyboard? i know alot of razor owners having this issue in some systems combined with other applications being used it's causing memory error/crashes.

i seriously doubt that's the case with you as your memory usage is not ramping up to 80+%

No the keyboard doesn't have an software program, it's just plug and play. I just can't figure out the issue, my temps aren't ridiculously high either.

try updating your flash player. if no change go back to the stock windows 7 flash player. some games are not updating their flash security and newer flash players are causing problems with games with older flash security settings. it is a recent issue that seems to happen after the first of the year every year until beginning of march or around june-september to ocotober.

you get the game started so i highly doubt this as most applications can't even be displayed at the log in where this is an issue, but i have seen funkier problems stem from this that says " hey might as well give it a shot" it's just a shot in the dark still tho. it very much reminds me of an old issue with ati radeon 3k-4k series namely the 38XX-48XX with vista and a poor drivers.

possibly a bad capacitor near the voltage regulators by the pcie power connectors need a very good Voltmeter or Ammeter to test that tho

Finally figured it out. When I cleaned installed Windows 10 something happened in my bios and some of the settings were modified for some reason...weird I know. Anyways I reset to default and everything is running smooth again, I probably should have checked that earlier. Still thanks for all of the help and ideas!
