Hi everyone, I just registered to this forum this morning - but I have used TomsHardware as a reference for system builds and recent info since 2011. I have never had a problem I couldn't track down until recently, and hope the community can help!
I searched the threads for my mobo/ram/graphics combo, but have yet to find a match other than people that cant POST - which my system can. I cant seem to run the system stable past ~15 minutes when in-game, but I can boot windows, run programs/browsers for days. The current games I have run are Crysis 3, BioShock Infinite, Mass Effect 3, and Skyrim. All games will randomly crash to windows, crash to blue screen, or lock up with no CTRL+ALT+DEL capability (must manually reset) after 15-30 minutes of play. All games look incredible with the new video card, but don't last long enough to get through a multiplayer round or two.
Current build from 2011:
ASUS P8P67 PRO <REV 3.0> LGA 1155 SATA 6Gbps
i5-2500k 3.3ghz 6mb cache
Cooler Master Hyper212 Plus, Arctic Silver 5 compound
G.Skill F3-10666CL7D-8GBXH 8GB DDR3 PC3-10666 RipjawsX Series for Sandy Bridge (7-7-7-21) Dual Channel kit
OCZ 80GB Vertex2 SATA II SSD
Corsair Enthusiast 650W 80Plus Bronze 650TX v2
Win7 Pro x64 System Builder, SP1
OC profile has never been able to push past 3.4GHz with this setup, running through tutorials on YouTube and TomsHardware. I have also tried a second i5-2500k chip, with the same results.
Recently added in 2013:
GIGABYTE GV-R795WF3-3GD Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16
Have tried both Catalyst 13.4 and 13.10 Beta (currently running beta). Using factory settings, no OC.
Can someone please assist me with some steps to track down this problem?
Thank you!
