Specs:

Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 780Ti-DC2 series 3GB GDDR5 DirectX 11 Graphics

CPU: Intel i7-4930K 6 Core (Ivy Brudge-E) Unlocked Processor w/ Hyper-Threading 3.90 GHz OC to 4.60GHz

Motherboard: MSI X79A-GD45 PLUS Intel X79 Express Chipset Motherboard

RAM: 16GB (4x4096MB) 1600MHz DDR3 Quad-Channel Memory

PSU: 850W Corsair RM Series 80PLUS Gold Modular Digital Power Supply

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit

While playing games like Battlefield 4 and CoD: Ghosts I have been experiencing my computer seemingly going onto a "Standby", The monitor goes to sleep mode but I can still hear the sounds of the game, although the sounds are glitched and cut out at intervals, I am unable to CTRL + ALT + DEL in this situation and the computer does not respond to mouse or keyboard commands, so I am forced to restart it via the computer's own restart button.

I just passed one of the points my computer always crashes on, my GPU is on 98% usage after that point, temperature is 72-73 Degrees centigrade. CPU 21% and memory 30%.



Thank you for your time.

High performance is already running, and my background processes don't seem to be tasking at all.

Could be a GPU issue. Have you try turning everything to minimum performance? This way you can test if the GPU is overheating.

On a side note, I had a similar situation that was due to the ram once. (I would still look at the GPU first though).

I tried doing as you said, the game still crashed at exactly the same point. Though after leaving my computer for around 5-10 minutes it didn't crash once loading from save. Any advice?
 


if its crashing at the same time look into the HDD health and test the RAM with MEMtest86
