My pc Crash when i play games

Christoffer Norton · Sep 1, 2014

when I first bought my PC was it running all my games perfect.
but now it crash in allmost every game i play, except for dayz stand alone witch i run on high settings

my settings:

intel i5 3,5GHz
64bit operative system
8GB ram
windows 8.1
Samsung 750GBssd
780GTX Ti OC 3GB
ASUS Z97-A
Seasonic S12G-750 80+ GOLD

okay i just found out that this happens to all my games (such as bf4, cod ghost, splinter cell blacklist, ac black flag) have played all the games before for houres whitout problems

i dont know if its all the info you need?

Do what I did: Only start with vital components, then check if the games still cause shutdowns

PhatLloyd :

sorry but i am a noob

do u mean low settings on games?

sounds like its overheating. use a program like core temp to monitor your cpu temperatures. also, use msi afterburner to monitor your gpu temps. report back your temps after playing for some time (atleast 10 minutes on intense graphical stuff)

have you looked inside to make sure there isnt alot of dust and stuff? make sure to clean out dust ever 6 months or so

PhatLloyd · Sep 1, 2014

Yes, forgot to mention that! If it is overheating, I suggest also checking the thermal paste, older gpu reached 90*C temps. I replaced the thermal paste then it ran under 70*C while gaming.

jshoop · Sep 1, 2014

haha, my gpu did the same thing.

the thermal paste can go for the cpu and gpu. i would thing cpu since its a little older, the 780ti is still modern.

i done some test on king of the hill arma 3
cpu:
Core #0 min=34 max=61 load=26%
core #1 min=31 max=61 load=21%
core #2 min=30 max=63 load=10%
core #3 min=33 max=61 load=16%

gpu:
min=33 max=48

usage max=74%

as for some dust the computer is less than 3 months old... is it very likely then?

Christoffer Norton · Sep 1, 2014

hope it is the right things i gave! as i said, im a noob at these things

jshoop · Sep 1, 2014

those actually are greatt temps. how long were you playing for?

have you checked drivers? try uninstalling your gpu drivers using driver sweeper, then reinstall the driver from the nvidia website

EDIT: 3 months probably isnt long enough for a dust buildup problem. it wouldnt hurt to just take the side panel off an take a peak in

PhatLloyd · Sep 1, 2014

Mmm? I don't know what could be causing this. Did you try playing only with important parts?

Christoffer Norton · Sep 1, 2014

i just played COD Ghost with all my settings down.
and it chrashed my pc after few minutes

Christoffer Norton · Sep 1, 2014

i removed my GeForce Expirence, and it worked for a short time

Christoffer Norton · Sep 1, 2014

i played for 15 minutes

Christoffer Norton · Sep 1, 2014

jshoop :

i done it now COD still Crashed...
maybe its the games?

jshoop · Sep 1, 2014

you can try a fresh install of the games themselves, but for each game to do it its wierd. if you didnt have such a good psu i would suggest thats the problem but seasonic is one of the best.

try playing without the geforce experience until it crashes. maybe theres a bug in there thats causing the crashes

Christoffer Norton · Sep 1, 2014

jshoop :

i didt what u asked... no luck
i also tried installing an older driver 335.23. nut still the same

I've looked around and it seems that many have the same problems

Christoffer Norton · Sep 1, 2014

it seems to be driver related

jshoop · Sep 3, 2014

maybe its something card related. is it possible to rma the card still?
