Hi, about a month ago I bought my new Gaming pc with the following specs:
i5 4670k; ASUS gtx 760; corsair 750W psu; ASUS Maximus VI Hero; western digital caviar black 2 Tb.
The problem is that at the 3rd day of having my computer I installed Battlefield bad company 2 (that kinda pushes the cpu) , and I could not play for more than 30 to 60 minutes before the game and the system crashed. All this was done without the case side pannel (antec eleven hundred) for max air flow. After searching a little bit I found out that some people were blaming punkbuster for similar crashes and also said that punkbuster could not handle certain cpus at certain frequencies ( mine was at 4.2 Ghz) so I just quitted the game. After that I installed Farcry 3 that had similar problems (random blue screens) but much less frequently (about once every 10/15 hours of gameplay). I also played other games as League of legends and Payday 2 but those didnt had a single problem. About a week ago I mounted my case side pannel as there was a pile of dust accumulating inside, but after that blue screens become much more frequent, even started to appear during LoL and Payday 2 gameplay, [strike]some[/strike] lots of times even appear while I install programs or render videos. When I have a blue screen it shows the bccode 101 which I think it's related with overheating, but even when I take away OC and disable turbo mode so that the cpu never passes 3.4Ghz it still crashes. My cpu being an Haswell does run quite hot quite quick, and my GPU does not help as instead of blowing the air outside the case blows the air up (to the cpu fan) and when I say up it is because the air doesn't even go sideways, just up. But my GPU never passes 64 C under load. I have runned stability test for the cpu (4.2Ghz), gpu, ram, and all passed except some cpu test like OCCT that stop midway because of the temperatures passing 85 C, however prime95 did not crashed my pc after 3 hours of testing.
After this big wall of text my question is: Is the problem realy the cpu temp? (As even with everything stock it crashed and BSOD right away.)
Or can it be a damaged hardrive?
If you think that the problem is CPU temp then have u met someone that has the same problems? Or what coolers do you recomend?
