Hi recently I built my new rig and im running windows 8.1 pro 64 bit.
My Specs are:
i7-4770
GTX 780
16 GB RAM
H87M-E
I just used the rig for about two months. During the first month , i run AC4 at highest settings without any errors . However, when i tried to play AC4 a few days before , when i play around 10 mins or sometimes 20 mins , the screen freezes and some color dots appeared on the screen , then the game crash to desktop and sometimes it stays there and i need to force the whole system to quit and sometimes even critical process died. All my components drivers are updated(Nvidia 334.89) and I checked all my components arent faulty . Is there anything causing my game to crash ?

This doesn't fix your issue, but I've noticed that since updating to Nvidia's latest driver 334.89 I've started getting weird issues with AC4 as well.
My issues ain't as bad, no crashes or anything, but I get some nasty fps drops for no real reason and a few weird textures, popping in or blurred.
Could be a coincidence but it makes me think maybe the driver is the cause. Try rolling back and see if the problem persists.
