Games freeze, sound loops and crash to desktop

davidka0811 · Oct 3, 2014

So my problem is that when i play games (example: CS GO, COD BO2, BF3, Payday 2, Batman) it's randomly crashes or freezes and the sound loops.
When i got this pc about 2 month ago, i installed steam, and i pasted the steammaps folder from my old pc to this new pc. Maybe the problem is this, becouse the old pc was win7 and the new is win8? So i just copied my steammpas folder.

Also CS GO freezes and crash. I played it on max settings, but its a very poor graphics game. How can it freeze? LOL

Memtest86 didnt found any error, so my memory is good.
Malwarebytes found no malwares.
HD Tune Pro found no error on my hdd, ssd.
Intel Processor Diagnostic tool found no error on my cpu.
Also i ran CPUID HWMonitor and my highest temreture was 50-60 celsius.
I updated my BIOS and my grapics card.
Sorry for my bad english.

You said that your CPU was 50-60C, was that idle or load temp?

It looks like it might be a compatibility issue, as those games are not designed for Windows 8.1

davidka0811 · Oct 3, 2014

The idle CPU temperature is 46C, GPU idle temp is around 34C. I have Windows 8 not 8.1 by the way. So what should i do ? Reinstal all steam games?

Shane501 · Oct 3, 2014

You could try reinstalling, but I would double check for compatibility first. I would also suggest upgrading to windows 8.1 it's free and it's also better than 8.

davidka0811 · Oct 3, 2014

Thats an other issue, i cant update to windows 8.1. After the update, its reboot and i get a blue screen and its roll back to Windows 8.

davidka0811 :

What was the message? Could be HW. Download Bluescreenview and post the Bug_Check_String attributes.

In the meantime: Run memtest86+ to see if your RAM failed. I'm leaning GPU though, given how games seem to set it off.

davidka0811 :

How many times have you tried? Did you ask Microsoft what it could be?

davidka0811 · Oct 3, 2014

I used Bluescreenview. Sry its in hungarian. I used Memtest and no errors found.

No, but i will connect to them.

Wow, I had to look this one up:

Bug Check 0x00000133: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

For a parameter 1 of 1:

The system cumulatively spent an extended period of time at IRQL DISPATCH_LEVEL or above. The offending component can usually be identified with a stack trace.

Suspected HW, as DFSC.sys is a driver that communicates with HW directly.

Given you've checked or replaced just about everything (GPU, etc), and given the failure mode (hard lockup), I'd put my bets on the motherboard at this point.

As a final effort though: Delete the steamapps folder, and download one of the problem titles directly from steam, and see if the problem goes away. I doubt it, but its likely easier and faster then swapping out the motherboard.

davidka0811 · Oct 3, 2014

I have 8.1 now! I just removed Avast and ran the update.

Shane501 · Oct 3, 2014

Do you have GeForce Experience?

davidka0811 · Oct 4, 2014

Yes, every game are on optimized settings, expect CS GO, witch is on medium.

Shane501 · Oct 4, 2014

Try uninstalling Ge Force Experience, I was looking at the steam forums and that was a problem that people had.

davidka0811 · Oct 5, 2014

OK i will try uninstalling it.
This is after 3 freeze/crash in CS GOabout 5 mins ago:
Motherboard: min: 35C max: 46C
Processor: min: 40C max: 51C
Grapics card: min: 34C max: 38C.

Looks like i have this problem: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2239267/games-crashing-installing-geforce-experience.html
I want to uninstall GeForce Experience, but i cant remove it. In control panel -> Remove programs, i click on Geforce Experience and click on remove it, but nothing happens.

xfiremadex · Oct 5, 2014

Does the number lock light (if you have one) turn off after u press a few keys after the freeze? If so, I can almost guarantee it's a motherboard issue. If not then it must be your power supply. Either the power supply isn't supplying enough power to run the games or your motherboard has a problem. If your motherboard has a warranty on it you could RMA it for free and see if the freezes stop when it comes back. If you can't do that then take it to your local computer repair shop and have them try to fix it.

davidka0811 · Oct 5, 2014

I uninstalled Geforce Experience, and CS GO freezed again (CPU: max 62C, GPU: max: 67C, MoBo: 50C). So it didnt work.

davidka0811 · Oct 5, 2014

xfiremadex :

Sorry, I dont understand your first sentence.

Shane501 · Oct 5, 2014

davidka0811 :

That's too bad.

davidka0811 · Nov 8, 2014

Shane501 :

Now i getting this error message and crash: "The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the Windows Time-Out limit and is unable to continue. The application must close."

Formating hard drive, and reinstalling windows did the trick!

Games freeze, sound loops and crash to desktop
