I had put this together a year or so ago, and ended up not using it too much so didn't know there were any issues. Now, when i game for 2-4 hours, it will crash. Either the screen will freeze completely, but i can still hear music on headphones (sometimes the full soundtracks that are ingame, others music freezes @ 1 point) and other times, screen will go crazy and crash to a white screen.
my build is:
Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ AMD 990FX ATX RoG
CPU: AMD FX-8150 8 core black edition
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB (2x8) DDR3 240pin
Video Card: Diamond AMD Radeon HD 7970 3 GB GDDR5
Don't remember exact model of PSU off top of my head (am not @home) but it's an 850w ThermalTake.
Are these parts all compatible? If so, any ideas why this is crashing when i game for extended periods of time?
EDIT: Yes, i (occasionally) check temps, and don't see them overheating, however I haven't managed to check them within a short time of the machine crashing.
I don't use it for much other than gaming, the wife does occasionally and has never mentioned it crashing
