Hello, I'm having a problem with my new build. When playing games (Tested on BF3, and FurMark GPU stress test) after a minute at most the computer goes to a blank screen, either black or blue with vertical stripes. At this point I am unable to ctrl-alt-del or alt-tab to get to a different screen, so I need to hard reset my computer. Also of note when I am on skype at the time I can still talk even when the screen is frozen.
Computer Specs:
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 AMD970 950 AM3+ R
PSU: Cosair CX500M 500W R
GPU: Radeon XFX R9 270X 2GD5 R
CPU: AMD|6-CORE FX-6300 3.5G 8M R
RAM: 8gb MEM 4Gx2
HDD: SSD 64G and HDD 1T
When I do the stress test the computer crashed around when my GPU reaches between 65-70c. For what it's worth I also looked up my CPU temperature when stress testing and it's normal, so that's not the issue.
Thank you for your time, and any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I should also note this is my first computer build, so it's entirely possible I did something stupid in the build.
