Hi there,

I just finished building a new pc last week and have installed games such as Far Cry 3 and Metro Last Light. When I try Metro Last Light, I get through the opening promotional screen and when I get to the main menu the colours get warped and then the game freezes. For Far Cry 3 the game runs for about 2 minutes and then freezes and my screen goes black.

I have a gtx 770 and I have made sure to have the newest drivers.

Just wondering if anybody has any ideas/fixes for this problem.

Thanks.

Download GPU-Z and check the temperature of your GPU while running games. Anything over 80C is a cause for concern and could indicate obstructed fans, broken fans, or a graphics card that is not securely mounted in its PCIe slot.
