Hey, I've been having a lot of issues with my system lately regarding crashing while playing games.

Many games crash to desktop after 10-15 minutes of play, while others simply blue screen of death.

I have crashed on games such as CIV 5, Fallout NV, Watch Dogs.

I have BSOD'd on Mirrors Edge, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3

I have plenty other games I can test

As far as I can remember there isn't a game that hasn't crashed at least a bit in the last couple months, and I'm out of ideas of trying to fix it.


The only thing I can think of that could possibly be causing it is my SSD which I got a few months ago, but it doesn't show any signs of wear other than gaming.

Here is my system:

GPU: Geforce GTX770 gigabyte 4gb
CPU: I5-3570k
HDD: 3TB WD harddrive
SSD: 250GB Samsung evo
PSU: 600W Corsair Power Unit
MotherBoard: Asus P8Z77-V
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Let me know if you need anything else, as I really need to get this annoying problem sorted!

Side note: I also have a problem with ANY video editing software crashing during rendering. Im not necessarily trying to fix that problem right now, but It might be related in some way

thanks,

ohno





Edit: Replacing my stock cpu cooler seems to have fixed all my issues! Thanks a lot for everyones help.

Yes afterburner will work with a gigabyte card. I'm not sure on the exact temps of your CPU on a stock cooler, you will have to Google that. If its overheating then did you build the system? did you apply thermal paste to the cpu before mounting the cooler?

Exactly which corsair 600w psu do you have?
I might suspect your PSU.
Can you test with a known good quality stronger psu?

If you have any cpu or gpu overclocks, remove them and revert to standard.
Perhaps try downclocking your graphics card.

The CX corsair line is an OK budget line. But, it is perhaps losing some of it's capability.
A lack of psu capability will cause the symptoms you are having.
A GTX770 wants about 575w, if your psu fan is running at high speed, it is an indicator that it is working hard.

No, your psu obviously works.
Cheap psu testers don't do the job, they only confirm basic voltage output.

If you don't have a friend that will lend you one, you could take it to a pc repair shop assuming there is one you can trust.

Consider buying a stronger 650w quality unit from Seasonic or XFX from a place with a good return policy. A 10% fee would not be out of line.
If a new psu fixes your problem, RMA the old unit to Corsair. They are good about this. You will get a new sealed unit in return which you can market to recoup your costs.

I can get a 750w Corsair from BestBuy for 100$. I can get a 650w Seasonic from Newegg for 130. Should I try to avoid Corsair in the future? The advantage to getting from best buy is that I can get it today, and I do not have to pay shipping.

Here are all the bug check strings ive received:

1. Attempted Execute of NoExecute Memory | Caused by driver USBPORT.SYS
2. Machine Check Exception | hall.dll
3. Driver IRQL Not Less Or Equal | nvlddmkm.sys
4. Memory Management | aswSnx.sys
5. IRQL Not Less or Equal | ntoskrnl.exe

When games crash without a bsod (which is most of the time) it is almost always just the generic "Program X has stopped working"

nvlddmkm.sys is your nvidia driver. Try completely removing them then install them again. My guess is the nvidia driver is writing to a part of memory that isn't allocated to it and is causing the aswSnx.sys and ntoskrnl.exe errors, especially since the crash seems exclusive to when you are gaming.

Also it might be an idea to use an earlier driver set if the problem has only manifested recently.
