Hi, new timer here, long time lurker. I'll try to be as straightforward cause there's much to cover.
Okay I just put together my first computer, overall very good results. Constant temp checks and driver updates etc and so far everything seems in check. However just recently I've been getting a huge amounts of game crashes in specific games (Tombraider and Batman Arkham City GOTY). I've been playing other games that have not been crashing (Castlevania LoS and WoW) and they ran rather smoothly.
The problem is that I'm seriously stumped regarding how it crashes.
Here's what the event log has to say in Tombraider for example:
--------
Faulting application name: TombRaider.exe, version: 1.1.748.0, time stamp: 0x519379a7
Faulting module name: nvwgf2um.dll, version: 9.18.13.4052, time stamp: 0x53b44419
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x003430ef
Faulting process id: 0x2a8
Faulting application start time: 0x01cfd395c2a1bd57
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Tomb Raider\TombRaider.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\nvwgf2um.dll
Report Id: 816f55f7-3f89-11e4-9854-10c37b6afdfd
-----------
What happens sometimes after these kinds of crashes is that the computer begins to become verryy slow, like mouse-stops frequently slow, can't click a damn thing without a 3second delay response etc. The only way to fix it is to restart. This happened on Batman as well but I don't have the event log for it. Super spooky


I'm aware that those games have issues with 560Gtx+ nvidia cards due to driver problems and a solution was to roll back to a more stable one (314.22), the problem is that it doesn't support my card so I haven't rolled back yet. What I have done is completely re-install all drivers safe and clean, worked on windows update alongside downgrades, done benchmark tests (Heaven worked fine, 3dMark crashed in-game but nonfatal), used the OCCT for hardware checks and there isn't much to say. No results that stand out I'm afraid, the same game crashes and the games that don't, well don't. I've been at it for some time and I feel like I'm just running around in circles..

What do you guys think? Is this just a coincidental buggy game encounter or am I looking at a hardware/software malfunction?
