I just made a new gaming PC.
i7 3930k
Corsair H80i liquid cooler
Asus Sabertooth X79
16 gb ram
Intel 520 series 240 gb SSD
1TB HDD
2 x EVGA GTX 760 4gb graphics cards in SLI
Windows 8
Case is NZXT Guardian 921 RB mid tower
Corsair 850w PS
I got everything up and running but every time I run anything other than WoW it always freezes. BF3, Skyrim, Deus Ex Rev -- even Starcraft!!. Works for a bit but freezes after either a few mins or a few seconds.
I tried reinstalling drivers, games, whatever. Skyrim seems to work when I disable SLI.
I was worried about heat because I went with a mid case and it's packed pretty tight in there. Also, had to remove a fan because it didn't fit with the water cooler and everything else in there.
But I was monitoring heat of both the GPU and CPU and neither got very hot before the games/system froze (at least that I could tell). So I don't know if its heat or something else. What else could be causing games to crash?
Any ideas?
