Hi, everyone.

Firstly, I'd like to say thanks to anyone that hopefully will be helping me.

Okay, so; my PC, as of about 2-3 weeks ago, has been crashing, mostly while playing games. This, however, is not a regular crash. While playing games, it crashes, and stays on the exact frame that I was on, and it doesn't move. I have to completely force restart it. As a side note, all of my PC's fans & PSU lights stay on. Also, I recently replaced my GPU w/ a GXT 750, and I fear this may be the cause. My PC being a shop bought PC though, I also fear it may just be old, and a part of it failing. Anyone that has ANY input whatsoever would be greatly appreciated, and my specs are as follows;

GTX 750 GPU
Intel i7 2600 CPU
800w PSU
8GB RAM
DH67BL MoBo

I hope that anyone can help me; cheers.

unfortunately not; as my old GPU failed, hence why it was replaced. But thanks for the reply =)
 
did you completely reinstall your graphics drivers after changing cards?
That would be a good basic thing to do.. even if its Nvidia to Nvidia..
If it was AMD to Nvidia then you def want to make sure you got rid of all old AMD remnants before you install Nvidia.

HTH
Cheers

I don't think I actually wiped my hard drive, so I'll do that now. Will confirm once I've done it, however my PC doesn't crash every 15 minutes, sometimes it can take hours

Yeah, I've got through, ran a driver sweeper to make sure, and still getting the crashes, however only one today.
