Hi guys,

After recently upgrading my gaming PC I cant play any games (DOTA2 and Thief so far) due to both games freezing/locking up my system after a few minutes of play. I've got the latest NVIDIA drivers installed straight from their website on a FRESH copy on Windows 7 with all the appropriate drivers for my chipsets and such.

My system is running the following gear:

CPU: Intel i5 4570 3.20GHz
Mobo: MSI H87I Mini-ITX
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM KVR1333D3N9/8G 8GB DDR3
GPU: MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozor OC 2GB edition
PSU: Corsair HX620W
HDDS: 120gb sandisk SSD, 3 1TB 7200rpm drives (various brands)

Any ideas as to why its randomly causing my system to lock up? I've run FurMark 15 min 1080p burn in test with no problems but as soon as I try to play any games it just freezes.

Should I roll the drivers back to an earlier version?

Thanks.

I upgraded from a EVGA GTX 285 SuperOC, I'm yet to try the 760 in another PC which means (hopefully not) that the card could be faulty. Ive had the GTX 285 and the PSU for a good 3-4 years now.
