Hello,
in December last year I made my first custom built gaming pc. It all went swimmingly and everything has been running like clockwork until very recently. I decided to enjoy a bit of nostalgia and purchased a months runescape membership.I was playing just fine until one day I came on and it lagged really badly when I first logged on and then it crashed/froze permanently. I restarted and it did this a couple of times. I ran a cc cleaner, deleted a load of unused stuff and checked for viruses and the such, it came up clean and runescape started running just fine again. Since then I had a few odd crashes but nothing frequent, so it didn't bother me, until the other day when I was playing smite and it crashed mid league game causing me to lose the game which had been neck and neck for a good 45 minutes, I was annoyed to say the least. So I did as one of my friends suggested and updated the drivers and BIOS of my mobo, as well as check my ram using the windows ram checker thing, it all went fine. I figured that may have fixed the problem but as I loaded up smite and loaded up toms hardware in the background to ask this very question in case it hadn't helped, my pc crashed again. I then repeated what I did and it crashed again, it seemed to be when loading something else up when smite was in the background loading that caused it.However, all my other crashes haven't always been smite related, but I digress. Id just like any help or tips from you guys. Is it a component that's bust? have I picked up a virus or something when torrenting? (which admittedly I have done a decent amount) any help would be appreciated. Just did the good old take out the gpu and put it back in trick and ill see how that goes.
PC specs:
Motherboard:asus h81m-E
GPU:asus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
CPU:Intel core i5 4440
PSU:coolermaster B600
Ram: KIngston hyperx DDR3 1600MHz Cl9 8 gb
Hard Drive: Seagate 1tb barracuda
Thanks for any help
