oh ok the GPU is a GeForce gtx 660 cpu intel(r) core i5-4670k cpu @ 3.40ghz 8.00gb ram 1920x1080 resolution 60hz, driver version is 340.52 its a windows 7 system I play mainly strategy games turn based ones like shogun 2 rome 2 and empire total war.

Empire total war is the one that crashed with a white screen although I use mods one called imperial splendour which is for empire other games medieval 2 and age of empires 2 hd edition and they are ok.

If the other games crash they are possibly just game bugs but I don't have white screen lock ups with them just seems to be empire that does it.

^Yeah it seemed like that at first, and with little driver refreshing/ cleaning he was able to get Titanfall to work properly Now, an even more demanding game, BF4, seems to freeze. I'm not aware if it freezes on intensive parts which give more load or at the start itself. If he's able to get this one to work with Game reinstall/ OS reinstall, then nothing like it. But he may eventually find out PSU is not able to take load, that's a possibility too.

so is this the psu or software problem chillblast told me to to do and I get power surge detection and it just closed down and restarted



Thanks for the log file. Please could you try resetting your BIOS settings? To do this, when starting the PC up please keep tapping the delete key to enter the UEFI BIOS Setup utility. Once you’re in this, hit F5 on the keyboard which will bring up a question asking you if you want to load optimized defaults. Confirm this, and then press F10 which will bring up a question asking if you want to save changes and restart the computer, to which you should answer yes. The PC will restart as normal.



Please let me know if this has any effect on Empire Total War.
