PC Games Crashing!

Vandeveld55 · Dec 28, 2013

I just built a PC a couple days ago, downloaded the drivers, and when I went to start to play games such as Minecraft and Skyrim primarily, they keep crashing. I need help, and quick because I bought this PC to game(Note: Minecraft says not responding then crashes, and google chrome does the same) PC PARTS LIST(do not have the case on the part list): http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Vandeveld5/saved/33hN

make sure the mother board has the newest bios file. use cpu-z read the ram speed and settings. make sure with your fast ram xmp profile or amd version is on and the ram speed is set right. also download the newest drivers for the amd chipset from amd.

I do not trust Raidmax PSUs, even if one is 80+. If it can't hack the gaming load, it could be wandering out of spec.
A little more likely in this case though is your RAM. Test each stick individually using memtest86+.
Also, be careful of overclocking, although your CPU is only 95W. The VRMs on that board are weak, per https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=0 but at least it looks like they'll throttle rather than simply burning. Liquid coolers do a good job on the CPU, but don't blow air over the VRMs. Make sure you have decent flow through your case, or get something like an Antec Spotcool to blow on the VRMs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835209044
