Hello. I built a new system that worked fine, but was forced to remove my discreet GPU and now when I'm using the onboard Intel HD 4600 on my haswell i5-4670K I experience random hard-lock / freezes while playing different 3D games like Diablo 3 and Elder Scrolls Online. These freezes have not happened when a game is not running. These freezes do happen when a game is running on background and I'm on desktop.
The freeze is just a complete lock-up. The screen stays on, the pictures is freezed on the screen. Fans still running. The computer doesn't respont to *anything* else than keeping the power button pressed a few seconds to get it reboot.
I have not overclocked anything. I did not experience these lockups or freezes when I used my discreet gpu. I have tried the drivers on from the mobo's install cd and the latest drivers from Intel's website. They both freeze.
These freezes are quite rare. Maybe 2-4 times a week while using the computer about 10-12 hours per day but still are very annoying specially when playing a MMO or diablo 3 on hardcore where deaths are permanent.
The cpu/integrated gpu runs usually at 60C while playing, I have the stock cooler.
I'm curious if this is mobo or haswell problem or a driver problem.
My setup:
Win7
Asus Z87-A
i5-4670K
Kingston HyperX 2x4GB, DDR3 1600MHz, CL9 ( KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX )
FSP Aurum Pro 850W PSU
USED to have Radeon 7950 (while using this, no freezes and I had not enabled the integrated gpu yet)
