ok so after spending a couple of days at this, i have been trying to find a solution to my games randomly shutting down, computer freezing up permanently untill restart and blue screens.
My parts are:
i5-3570k OC @ 4.4ghz - most considered culprit
EVGA Gtx 660 ti - i have used msi afterburner to change fan speeds to near max so it's running way more cooler.
Adata SX900 128gb and WD Caviar Black 1tb - i used a program to check all the sectors and they seem to be fine
8gb of samsung ram ( don't know model name ) - i have yet to run a memtest but i would have not thought my ram would be the cause.
I also have 4 case fans ( intake - front/bottom out-take - top/back.
Now i was wondering what you guys think the problem might be, i am thinking it's a cpu overheating problem because after using HWMonitor i found the max temps closing in to around 58 c which is way too hot for a cpu especially at 4.4ghz. I am going to take it down to 4ghz later but untill then i would appreciate any other suggestions of what to try.
