im just playing online games, like dota2, guild wars 2 and after 30mins of playing it will hang and will not respond.. so i reset it. BTW i already install a new and fresh windows 7 and scan it with avira no virus. please tell me what it keeps hanging.. or its the motherboard bottleneck some of my specs?

here is my specs

amd fx6300
msi 880gms-e41 FX
GTX 670
8gb memory
500gb HDD
and i only play in a 1280x1024 monitor(planning to upgrade with 1920x1080 monitor)

It might be overheating or having problems with the Power Supply Unit (not mentioned in your original post).
- Generally when people don't know their PSU in the 1st post the problem ends up being caused by the PSU.

The GeForce GTX670 needs a high quality PSU to run reliably over time.
- PSU's fade in rating over time too, so maybe it was OK for 6 months then just started having problems?

Are you in a summer time or winter time hemisphere?
