Hi guys. Right now when I play more graphically intensive games, my computer crashes, blue screens, or black screens and immediately restarts. All of the games run at their correct performance (fps-wise) but still crash very quickly. Crysis 3 runs for about 3 minutes and then crashes. Battlefield 4 single-player and test range works fine, but the multi-player crashes after about 1-4 minutes.
An empty match on Parcel Storm with clear weather (no waves/rain/wind) does not crash. But a decently filled match on Parcel Storm during a storm will crash in a matter of almost a minute. This made me think that it may be the ram, because it obviously takes up more ram when more people are present and you have to render more events on the map. I thought that maybe when my ram fills up to a certain amount, my computer crashes.
I ran memtest86 to see if it was the ram. Passed 9 times over 18 hours, seemed fine, but I still have a slight feeling it may be the ram. I may try later to run with just one stick and see what happens. I think I'm narrowing it down to my PSU because if i run my CPU and GPU at base clocks, the problem persists. Originally I had my GPU to ~1250 Mhz (Should be okay with the SC version of my card) and my CPU at 4.5 Ghz (Should be okay because I have a good cooler.).
I'm running a:
CPU: i7 4770k
GPU: GTX 780 ti SC ACX
RAM: G.skill Ares 16 gb
MOBO: Asus Maximus VI Hero
PSU: Corsair 650 Watt platinum certified.
CPU Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC14PE
I'm kind of disappointed at the fact that this may be a PSU problem considering that the one I got is supposed to be top of the line. Did I get one that doesn't have enough power to support these games? Or is it just a lemon? Or might it be something else?
I'm at a loss here. I'm going to test prime95 on my CPU because on FurMark tests for my GPU, it performs fine. Thanks to anyone who considered helping.
