Hello,
I have been experiencing many crashes and problems with my pc since march. It started with Battlefield 3 where I would always get a crash after about 10-20 mins into the game.
These crashes often different. Sometimes the game just minimised and wouldn't go back, sometimes I would get an "Nvidia kernel mode driver has stopped responding and has recovered" and occasionally I would get a freeze with a sound loop followed by a black screen.
These problems were only in battlefield but now they have to every game, even games like Skyrim. I reinstalled windows but it didn't help. The problem that I have now is that after about 20 mins my wholes system will begin to lag seriously, like at 0.25 fps and my peripherals would start disconnecting and reconnecting (evidenced by the windows sound).
Here are my specs:
Windows 7 64bit (latest updates)
ASROCK Z77 extreme4 motherboard
Mustang 2x4GB RAM (from a friends custom pc off ebay so pretty cheap)
Intel i5 3570k stock clocks and stock cooler
WD Green 1TB HDD
Toshiba x24 Drive
Gigabyte GTX670 OC 2GB VRAM
Antec Trupower 650W semi modular PSU
Creative Tactic3D Sigma Headset
And here are solutions I have tried so far:
Full reinstall of windows 7 64 bit followed by drivers, origin and BF3 only
Lowering GPU memory and core clocks to stock and upping the voltage and fan speed (its definitely not a temp problem)
Updating GPU and Mobo BIOS to the latest versions and set Mobo BIOS to factory settings
Memtest86 on RAM (which showed no errors)
MSI Kombuster (which ran perfectly fine)
Editing registry, specifically setting TdrDelay to 8 (what's interesting is that Battlefield still froze and any sounds playing just echoed away as normal but the game still minimised, it just froze for longer)
Cleaning out dust from system and reseating GPU and RAM
Ran OCCT test for PSU and it showed the same problem as in games
I hope someone can help me out with this problem or at least help diagnose what is causing it. Many Thanks
