Hi All

This my first time here so i thank you for any help.

I just built a new PC:

intel 4670k CPU
2 x Sapphire R9 270x Toxic
16 Gbs of G-Skill Ripjaw 2133 Memory running at 1600Mhz
Motherboard is a Asrock Z87 Extreme 4
Samsung Evo 256 Gbs SSD (OS is on the SSD, Windows 8.1 Pro)
HDD is WD Black 1TB
Power Supply is Thermaltech 750W 80+ Gold

Temps are:
the CPU under Extreme stress runs at a Max of 58C (cooled by a Corsair H80i)
The GPU's at full stress run at 68C
all other temps are ok
The case has good airflow.

I have run stress tests for the CPU, GPU and Ram for 24 hours and have had no issues but for some odd reason, when gaming, Mostly BF4 and Crisis3, the PC will Crash and i also hear a loud buzzing noise in my headphones.

Also while gaming, i sometimes get a weird flashing section in different parts of the screen, sort of looks like a barcode.

I have checked and double checked the drivers.

Any Ideas?

since the system is crashing when under load, the first component in question is the power supply.

next is the GPU and an overheating CPU.

next is the motherboard and ram.

but as for your situation, lets hope that it just need a clean reinstall of windows.

Overclock? Well a habit of mine is to tweak the bios even before intalling any OS, but sometimes that causes problems for raid, firmware, drivers etc.

Crossfire also brings into question stability for games, updated drivers mostly fix this. But some games require several settings change to work stable on crossfire.

Conclusion. Try it on one gpu, if the game works fine, then probably its driver issue. But if your not overclocking and the single gpu BSOD's on games then bios or hardware issue.

Thanks for the reply.

I have not overclocked at all.

I have tried with single GPU and the same thing happens.

I re-checked the drivers and the BIOS and all seems to be fine.

If this is a hardware issue, what components do you think would be causing this?
