Hi guys, I just built a computer not too long ago and it has been freezing up lately and requiring a hard restart . It ONLY happens when I'm playing games such as AC3 and League of Legends. I really don't know what is going on. However I have run some tests and this is what I know.
I ran Furmark for 17 min but then accidentally shut it off, then I ran it again for about 30 more minutes, nothing happened (the good kind)
I ran Prime95 overnight, nothing errors
I also ran MemTest86+ overnight and again nothing wrong.
I'm thinking its my psu, I used "CPUID HWmonitor" and my voltages were really weird, (12v I got 8v), However I check BIOS and my voltages were good.
Here are my specs:
AMD FX 4130 Quad Core 3.8
PowerColor Radeon HD 7750 1Gb
Windows 7
I forgot my exact model of RAM but if you need it I can check later on, (2x4Gb)
AntecVP450 PSU
Asus M5A78LMLX PLUS motherboard
None of this is overclocked(at least I don't think so) I'm not exactly that good at computers but I do know a bit.
One really weird thing is that I took out my 7750 and used to on-board graphics and it didn't freeze on Smite (only game I tested thoroughly, Smite was guaranteed to freeze within 5 minutes of the game, one game with league, obviously did not want to check the more higher end games, but i really just wanna play these online games with my friends). So I am thinking either power supply or graphics card. If you could please help I would be extremely grateful. Thanks

Also, if your CPU is overclocked, you may have a power issue with the motherboard. That board is NOT made for overclocking at all because it is basically a 5 year old board with a new socket tacked on. It has poor power phases and that VERY power hungry and inefficient CPU may be pushing the board to its ragged edge. Adding the GPU may push it over the limit. The board says its rated for 125w CPUs, but it really is only made for 95w TDP.

seeing you claim that just the one game is the issue and all else is working fine?? and what i mean is driver number like 13.10-- 13.12 so forth Sorry but I don't exactly know how to do that
, and its happening to all my games I just tested the integrated graphics on one game.Wait, I think it is 12.8 if it is the Catalyst version.

Use Coretemp for the CPU and MSI afterburner for the GPU. I highly doubt overheating though, I forgot to mention that I played all my games did all my movie editing and stuff perfectly fine for about 2 weeks, then it started happening only to my games. As well as a couple case fans along with very good ventilation but I will check.

do you let windows auto install updates or do you let it find updatyes and then you pick the ones to be installed? for me i do the find updates and i pick the ones to be downloaded and installed so i can weed out hte ones that dont work or can cause issues then when i have and issue after i install somthing i can goback and weed it out to see if thats what caused it.. seeing that windows will send you the wrong updates in the wrong order .. for example i got a amd board and a amd card and i was getting updates for nvicia of i got updates for updates that have not eaven been updated and installed yet as like the .net stuff that i found that ,net had to be installed in there proper order... up dates that were over a year old and just now getting them.... ya i had these kind of issues like you but now that [seems like a year later] i am for sure fully up to the date everything here seems to be working good 24-7...

open windows update and there should be a change settings open that and choose the check and let me choes to download and install .... and when you do a new install of windows there was a box to check for do not check updates wile windows is installing
you now may have to let it run its corse intill its fully up to the date updated as had to i mean microsoft realy needs to look at that for me it was a joke. eaven with me doing my way... you may go look at installed updates on the windows update window and look them over to see what you allready got installed..
