Sometimes I crash to the desktop, sometimes there's a sound-loop and the entire computer freezes, forcing me to hit the restart button.
I have just built this new PC, I've used Geforce experience to download the graphics drivers. I had the 335 version before, I even updated to the latest beta drivers, still no luck. I have installed my motherboard drivers correctly. My BIOS is outdated by 2 months, but I hardly believe it's worth going to such giant amounts of trouble to update a BIOS when I don't even know if that's the problem, which I highly doubt anyway.
Everything is new. I used my GPU is a previous computer for roughly 4-5 months. That ended up failing on me, hence why I got a new computer, using the same GPU and PSU.
My stats go as follow:
i7 4770k.
Dark Rock 3 cooler.
16gb of Corsair Vengenace RAM, 1866hz. (in the BIOS it says it's 1333hz, but I went into OC setting and upped it to 1866hz)
z87 MSI G65 gaming motherboard.
Samsubg 840 250gb SSD
Corsair CS750M PSU.
Gigabyte Geforce GTX 780ti Windforce edition. It's "Factory overclocked" if that means anything.
2TB Hard-drive.
Phantom 410 case. Black and orange.
Windows 8.1
A monitor connected with a VGA adaptor. (blue thingy to VGA)
I do not understand the cause of this. It cannot be my drivers as they are all up to date. It cannot be any hardware issue surely as everything is brand-new. Everything else works fine APART from games. I can play them for roughly 10 minutes to 2 hours... but somewhere in that time, I will crash.
The games I play are Counter strike: Global offensive and Battlefield 4. I am modding Skyrim up too. TF2. L4D2, GMOD. Assassin's creed Black Flag. Possibly Titanfall in the near future.
Please help, I feel awful. I've put so much time and effort into this computer and I do not want to fall as soon as I begin. Please can someone help.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not advanced at computers. If you start suggesting things such as "Flash the BIOS" "Do a clean install / boot" then please explain what it is and how to do it, and why it should be attempted. Random suggestions won't help anything.
