Hi all! I have a PC about a year old that has begun throwing tantrums in the past three weeks. I just recently purchased Dragon Age: Inquisition, which is well within my rig's ability to run. For the first couple of weeks that I had it, I could run it with the same number of problems as anyone else (drop-in, etc.) Then, all of a sudden, the computer started powering completely off with no warning. No bluescreen, nothing. After replacing the GPU, checking the RAM, and running some performance checks, I discovered that booting up any game would cause a ridiculous escalation in CPU load. It didn't matter if it was Knights of the Old Republic or DA:I, the memory usage kept climbing and the CPU would climb to 100% usage across all six chips. Then it would shutdown. There are no troublesome background processes that Task Manager can detect. A check on the RAM with the mdsched.exe program did result in a shutdown, but after removing, cleaning, and reinstalling the chips, no issues were detected. Heating does not seem to be a problem. Any help would be appreciated!
I am using:
AMD FX 6300 six core @ 3.50 GHz
EVGA Ge Force GTX 970
16GB RAM
650 Watt Power supply
I am running on Windows 7 64bit.
