My build (I just changed to the CPU and Mobo):
i5 4670k
ASUS Z97-A mobo
NVIDIA GTX 660
650w PSU
The problems I'm having only occur when gaming (Tested in DayZ SA, Arma 3, CSGO, and LoL).
The first problem I've experienced is the 1 second freeze and loss of audio, causing me to unplug and plug my headset back in(USB), this of course makes me restart my game as I no longer have audio.
The other problem I've been having is my games freezing within 10 minutes of playing, sometimes with a driver crash, sometimes not. The freezes require me to go into task manager and end the process.
Today, after turning my PC on, I was able to play both CSGO and DayZ for around an hour each with no problems. I then went back to CSGO and my game froze. After relaunching the game and getting into a match my whole computer started to "Stutter," freezing for 2 seconds, then normal for 1 second, then back to freezing. Even after getting to task manager and stopping the game, the system was still stuttering. I had to shut it down and restart.
The temps of my CPU and GPU are not extreme when these problems occur
I'm not too sure what the problem is, and I've updated both my audio and video drivers to attempt to fix them. Could this be my PSU not giving enough power or something? Any help or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks!
