Hey guys,

I built a gaming pc not to long ago
Specs
AMD FX-6300 6 core processor + stock fan
8gb corsair vengeance ram
Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5
Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard
Corsair CX500 PSU
Western Digitial Caviar Blue 1TB harddrive

The crash itself happens in a pattern which appears to be once a day, when I am playing Dota 2. It happens only when I am running the game at max settings but according to geforce experience these settings are optimal. My pc will freeze and whatever sound was playing at the time of the crash, be it music or in game will also crash leading to a loud almost buzzing sound coming from my sound source (headphones, headset or monitor). I am very worried about the long term affects these crashes could have on my PC and would be very thankful to any help given :D

Thanks again
