So I recently finished my 1st ever gaming PC build, and it seemed to go great. I followed some help from CoreyH on youtube. I first got DayZ and started to play. On some higher settings I started having issues, the screen would go black and exit the game. When the sceen came back on the Windows home screen would be up, and I could hear my game and move my player, but can't get the games picture to return. Lowered settings and seems good now. But now I just bought Dead Space from Steam and started playing, expecting to be able to run high settings with it being an older game (Dead Space 1, not 2 or 3). While playing the same would lag and a few times would exit giving me the TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) message, and would say that it did recover. After a few times I went to Low settings and now it runs pretty good. But with my hardware while not top of the line, I still consider it very good and should handle most games, my EVGA 650 ti BOOST isnt great but still should be a very good card for these games right? I just don't know what to do now. I feel I should be able to run at higher settings, and would like to with the money and time I spent with this build.
So has anyone had such problems, I hear there could be lots of reasons that cause TDR issues, but I don't know where to start, or how to troubleshoot to fix this. I will list my entire parts list below as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
