Hi,
I've just built my PC and am having issues while playing games. While playing Total War Rome 2 my PC freezes a after a few minutes and becomes unresponsive. The only thing that helps is restarting the PC.
A simillar thing happened with PES 2014 (the game froze but i could open task manager and turn off the procces) but i solved that by using MSI afterburn to regulate my GPU fan speed because it was overheating.
I've already tried a couple of things but nothing helps so I decided to ask here for some advice. First off, here is my build:
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
CPU: AMD FX8350
RAM: 2X4GB Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 (both)
GPU: ATI Radeon HD3870
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST3250410AS 250 GB
PSU: Corsair GS600
I know that my HDD and GPU are older thatn the rest of the components, but i checked, and should be able to run Total War Rome 2. I've tried running it with the lowest setting but it still freezes my PC.
CPU and GPU temps are good (CPU about 30 C, and GPU up to 60 C while running MSI after burner and playing the game).
So far, I've tried cleaning my registry (using ccleaner) and defragging (using cdefragler) the hard drive. I've also upodated all the drivers on my PC.
Beside freezing ingame, my PC also gave me a BSoD once, while updating some drivers, but I managed to update them later with no problems. Also, while defragging my PC restarted. (don't know if it was BSoD or something else, i left it overnight to defrag). I tried defragging my disk again and it went without problems.
Since defragging my disk, cleaning the registry and updating all drivers the system seems stable, but the freezes during Total War Rome 2 continue (haven't been able to really test it on PES2014 because I borrowed my gamepads to a friend, but I played one 10 minute game on high setting and it played without any lag or crashing). Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
