Can you tell your CPU Temperature extra ? Use hw monitor , and see if system is overheating i.e your CPU cooler is not working.

How do i find out the cpu temperature? Whats a hw monitor? Yes, the cpu cooler is working. Sorry its my first time ;c

Hw monitor is a windows program that tells about CPU temperatures etc. It's hardware Monitors short form. You can google to download or download from here.

Which games are you playing , does it happens under load of other apps like photoshop or during multitasking .post temperatures too. so we can help diagnose !

From what i've seen, it only crashes when I play csgo and too many people keeps fiering etc. Skyrim works fine, also tf2. On the motherboard it stands about 60 degrees celcious just before the screen freezes and the sound replays.

Did you get HW monitor? Report the cpu temps high, the column to the right shows what it was at the highest.
Have you overclocked the cpu?
Updated drivers for motherboard and gfx card?
What have you tried so far?

AlleLalle · Aug 24, 2014

cpu temps only about 30 degrees while idling but 50-60 while gaming. Havent overclocked it. All drivers are up to date. Also, the power supply sometimes make random noices :/

I think it is your power supply. What is the wattage of it? When a computer starts drawing more power from the power supply and there is a shortage it can cause your computer to freeze completely. Check the total wattage usage of all your components and make sure there is ample supply coming from the power. A good rule of thumb though is to always have about 25-30% more than what you need.

I think the noise is not ever supposed to occur. If you have the budget I would replace it to rule that out. Also research return policies at local places to help you decide where to buy. Seems like 600 watts should be plenty if the rails are good. Are you plugged directly into the wall? Any other appliances at that socket? How old is the psu and what did you pay approx.?

AlleLalle :

So it appears that cs go causes problems . You can try to uninstall and reinstall game from control panel, temps are fine so no hardware issue. If your power supply is causing problems then how come skyrim is playable ? Try borrowing a power supply from a friend to test and lower in game graphics settings. Hope it helps

Everything is new. Well, csgo makes the cpu really hot for some reason. 600 watts is my psu.
