Hello Tom
My newest setup:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
MSI 970A-G46 (Brand new)
AMD Black Edition - AMD Phenom II X4 955 - 3.2 GHz (Brand new)
Kingston HyperX Genesis XMP X2 Grey Series 4GBx2 (Brand new)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB (Brand new)
Gainward 450 GTS 1024MB (few years old)
ThermalTake ToughPower 750Watt (few years old)
So, when i play Minecraft, Starcraft 2, World of Warplanes, pretty games like these, not the most requiring, all at high-to-highest settings, my computer is the best Ive ever had. Not once has it frozen on me during these games.
If I play Crysis 3 or Bioshock 3, GFX-driver will eventually, usually within 10 minutes, crash and shut down the game. This is, however, not what annoys me the most.
Browsing the internet with any browser will sometimes make the GFX-driver crash. Computer freezes for a few seconds, then comes back. But sometimes it just plain out freezes for good! Nothing to do but hit the I/O switch.
So, the closer my computer is to idle, without being completely idle, the bigger the chance of a complete freeze is. It is worth mentioning too, that not once did this happen watching a YouTube video. Browsing text seems to be the biggest issue.
I am at a loss!
Thanks in advance
Nicholas

I hate throwing out stuff that will do the job just fine. The only reason i stopped using my 7800GT was because it didnt support DX11
