Hello, i have a problem, my pc tends to crash when i am playing high end games even though it should run them at 60 fps. The games are dota 2, bf4, sometimes it crashes the newest tomb raider, and now it crashes middle earth: shadow of mordor. Sometimes the screen turns black and the last sound produced repeats forever. Sometimes the screen turns to a random color(pink, yellow, brown, green, etc.) Either way i have to manually shut it off because it becomes unresponsive. Video card drivers are up to date. I tried to delete them and do a clean reinstall but it didn't work.
My specs :
CPU:intel i7 4770k @3.5 ghz
Videocard: asus gtx 770 2 gb.
psu: 750 watts (dont remember the brand).
RAM: 16 gb ram 2x8 crucial ballistix sport
Motherboard: gigabyte z87 hd3

Do you have any suggestions on what to do? I am lost because I think i tried eerything

tried it, didn't work. But I noticed that when i make the resolution in 3dmark and regular games a little bit lower, 1600x900 instead of 1920x1080, it works better and has less crashes

you could try the above but what you can do is if you still have your warranty on the 770 you could send it back or you could replace it

I guess you are right, I'll buy myself a new hard drive and move all of my steam games there so I won't have to load it again
