Hello everyone. I recently built a new PC from scratch, and I have been having problems with it. Here are the specs:
- i5 4670k Processor
-NVIDIA Geforce GTX 760 GPU
-Corsair CX power supply 750W
-8 GIGS RAM
-ASUS z87m ddr 3 motherboard
-Corsair Carbide case
All of these components are brand new. I even bought a new HDD and a new Windows 7 install disk. However, every time I play, the PC crashes at VERY irregular intervals. Usually, I play for about 1-2 hours, and it crashes. But the confusing thing is, sometimes I play for up to 7 hours, I believe everything is fine, then BOOM it crashes again.
Now here is the really weird thing: I brought the PC over to my friend's house so he can look at it. He ran it for three days straight, played it for more than 7 hours straight, and there was no problem with it. The day I came over to pick it up, I play-tested it out for a bit, still no problem. I brought it back home with me, and it started crashing yet again..
What's the problem? It's definitely not overheating. The highest temps I've gotten are 60 Celsius on my GPU and 41ish Celsius on my processor. It's definitely not a virus. Could the problem be my monitor? Sometimes it makes a weird buzzing noise during games that can be very overpowering at times. I can't imagine what else it may be since it only seems to be crashing over at my place.
Let me know if there is any other info I can provide. I am very inexperienced with computers so forgive me if I made any errors.
