No this is not a new build . My cpu temps on idle is around 40-49 degree celcius . My gpu on idle is around 46 degrees . It's happening for quite some time so I decided to ask for help :x

Your idle temps are bit on the high side, do you know how hot it is getting while gaming? Do you have the newest AMD driver? Did you change anything around the time you first starting noticing this. IS it crashing more often with newer DX10/11 games or any games, even older DX9 games. IS it completely random, even when idle? Do you have at least 2 case fans, 1 in, 1 out. Is it possibly very dirty inside. Have you noticed your power supply running hotter than normal. Sorry to ask so many questions, but you gave us little to go on.

I just donwloaded the latest driver , gonna install it now and see how it goes . It crashes on the older DX9 games . It crashes only when I'm gaming . I do have 2 case fans and i just clean the inside all up so its not dirty at all . I'm not sure about the power supply running hotter though

Make sure you uninstall the old driver first. Hopefully this will help! Do you have an aftermarket CPU cooler. The GPU is probably fine. Can you tell that your case fans are running at proper speeds. You could try running your system with the side panels off. If it works better with the computer opened up, this would tell you your case ventilation is poor. DO you know your MB temps?

I updated the driver . I do not have a aftermarket CPU cooler. Im running on the stock intel cooler . I think they are running at proper speeds Im not really sure how to determine their speed . Okay i will try to run my system with the sidepanels off . I do not know my MB temps
