Hello, I recently built a new PC and the specs are as follows:
Intel Core i7 3770k 3.5 GHZ
8gb ddr3 ram
Geforce GTX 660 SC
gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H motherboard.
1TB Western Digital Hard Drive.
Windows 7 Home Premium service pack 1 OS.
The drivers I got are:
VIA audio driver
intel Management Engine Interface
intel INF Installation
Atheros LAN driver
VIA USB 3.0
Intel USB 3.0
Intel VGA driver for Ivy Bridge CPU.
Now my problem is that with the games I play, after about 10-20 minutes, the audio cuts off and then shortly after the game freezes. it usually recovers and goes back to running fine within about a minute but this happens repetitively. The games that it most frequently does this for is Dishonored and Simcity 2013. the only thing on my PC is those drivers listed above, graphics drivers, and the games themselves. I want to know why my games temporarily freeze and what can be done to fix this. Thank you.
