Hi guys. I just bought a PC from ibuypower and I'm having some problems with crashes. I will leave specs below. The computer runs fine for hours outside of games. The computer runs fine in BF4 windowed mode, but only gets about 60fps on all ultra and 4x anti aliasing and hbao. I think the lowish frame rate here is due to the windowed mode, but I'm not sure. When I go full screen, I get 115fps on the same settings in the same conditions, but after 10 seconds the GPU fans go crazy, and after 20 seconds the computer will fully crash. I haven't tried any other games except for crysis on all very high settings in full screen, and I get the same crash. The computer will run bf4 fine in windowed for hours.... I think this problem is related to the cooling fans, because I haven't over clocked my CPU, so my stock heatsink should be fine. Also haven't over clocked GPU or ram. All latest drivers and win 8.1. Crashes happen with AMD Overdrive on or off, and automatic fan control as well as manual. Is this being caused by inadequate fans? If so, what should I buy with cyber Monday coming up, and how do I install it? Is it safe to run for 1-2 hour sessions daily with the case open until I have the problem resolved? (I havent tried this yet because I don't know what dust would do to my computer. Specs are below. Thanks for any help.
