I recently made a new build with PC gaming in mind.

Whenever I play BF4, after about 10 minutes my PC crashes, leaving my monitor to show the display as if nothing is plugged in. There is also a horrendous repeating noise in the headphones after the crash, but the main system seems to keep on going (Fans etc.).

I have tried running BF4 on Ultra, High and Medium graphics settings (My PC seemingly can get 60+ FPS on all 3) but it doesn't help with the crashing. I have managed to run Skyrim modded on ultra settings and haven't had any issues whatsoever.

When I turn my PC straight back on, the GPU Monitor app shows up and the GPU temperature is slowly dropping from a max of 55c down to 30c.

Is this clearly an overheating problem?! What can I do to fix this? My case has quite a few fans, so should I try for better cable management? Will this be enough?

Please help!
