CPU COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
MoBO: Gigabyte z97x Gaming 5

MEMORY: Kingmax 2*4GB 1600Mhz
SSD: OCZ Agility 4 128GB
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB

First off, does it crash when you're starting the game or while in game? If so check your temps, what settings+resolution are you playing these games on?

It happens in game randomly after 5 minutes or 2 hours. I bought a better pc, and my games didnt crash on my older pc just on the new. I play battlefield 3 on high to ultra settings on 1920*1080.

SethJPC :

How can i check them? Do you know a good program?

I generally use HWMonitor but I know that is slightly inaccurate, if not, just feel the air coming out of the back of your case and see if its hot.

Speccy is about as easy as it gets,it reads all of your temps.

Not sure if it logs them,though. I dont think so.

CPU temperatures :54-56 celsius (all the 4 core), GPU usage: 70-95%, Memory usage: around 4Gb. I used MSI Afterburner. I played Battlefield 3 on high to ultra settings with 40 player around 60FPS.

At the moment i played Black ops 2 multiplayer maxed out, 110FPS, everything was fine, and in the main menu it started stuttering (in the main menu, not in the game LOL) and slowly i could quit the game. But the stuttering continued on the desktop and it freezed after a min, also i couldnt open windows task manager. I restarted my computer and everything is smooth again...lol
It happend only once.
