Hello, as of recently, my pc has begun to crash while playing titanfal.
pc specs:
i5 2500k @4.3ghz
8gb gskill 1333 ddr3 ram 2x4gb sticks
sandisk 120gb ssd, 1tb HD
xfx core edition 7870 ghost series gfx card- NOT OVERCLOCKED
corsair cx600 v2 PSU

So far i have only experienced the crash while playing titanfal, thats all i play these days really.
When the crash happens, the whole systems hangs, there is no BSOD etc.....My screen turns RED, with lighter red vertical lines running down the screen. What is this? is it something i can change? i can fix? or is my gfx dying? Only recent change to my system was upgrading my gfx card drivers.
Thanks in advance.
 
Check your temps, especially of the graphics card. What is the brand and model (not just wattage) of your PSU?
Is the graphics card overclocked? Whether it is or not, back down the clocks (GPU and RAM) a little, and see if it makes a difference.
