I built my computer about 1 year ago and never had any issues until recently. I've run all the games I've wanted at maximum settings without so much as a performance issue. Now, if I have my settings turned up below minimum on the same games that used to run perfectly, I crash. The monitor will suddenly go blank and act like there is nothing even connected. I have to do a hard restart, and when it comes back on it states that it went through a blue screen error. The problem only happens while playing games and only on high settings. When the games are turned down to the absolute lowest, there is absolutely no issue. Even when turned to medium, the crash still occurs. It appears that there is a correlation to how high the graphics options are set and how long it takes it to crash. At highest settings, it will last maybe 10 minutes. Turning options lower and lower extends the life of it, but so far only the absolute minimum settings have gone for hours without shutting off.
