I built my computer about a year ago and have been getting random crashes in certain games. Some of these games include:
Borderlands 2
Bioshock Infinite
Splinter Cell Blacklist
I believe there were a couple others that I crashed during but I do not remember them. Every time a crash happens Afterburner shows the GPU goes from 100% usage to 0% usage. The temp goes from about 60 degrees Celsius and the slowly dips down to a little below 40 degrees Celsius. When reading some posts I found a suggestion saying to reduce the core clock down to standard speed(it is a factory overclocked card). This did seem to make the games crash less.
However, since I paid for a factory overclocked card I do not want to have to under clock it just to play games.
Side Note: Recently when my computer wakes from hibernation only one of my 2 screens turns on (always the one in the top DVI port of the graphics card). This does not happen when it wakes from sleep or turns on from pull power off, just hibernation. I have to unplug the DVI cord from the bottom port and replug it for the monitor to be recognized.
I am not sure if these issues are connected but any advice on either of them would be greatly appreciated.
