Hi,
Last Tuesday I bought and assembled a new PC. The components are
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Mobo: Asus Z97-K
GPU: Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 4GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x4GB 2400MHz (currently set to 1333MHz)
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
HDD: Western Digital Green 2TB
PSU: Corsair CX750M
Tower: Corsair Graphite 230T
When I booted the PC for the first time I installed Windows 8.1 and then I went into the BIOS and used the EZ Tuning Wizard to overclock my CPU and RAM. The estimated results were to increase the CPU by 12% and the DRAM by 84%. I then proceeded to turn on the PC and updated it as much as I could using the Windows Update utility. After that I downloaded Nvidia display driver 344.65 and installed it. Then I downloaded various programs such as Google Chrome, Battle.Net, World of Warcraft, Steam and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. I then started playing some games and always after having played for a while, maybe about and hour or so, both my screens went completely black. I still heard sounds from the game, though, but I couldn't do anything so I restarted the computer. I then entered the BIOS once again and reset it's settings to default and put the DRAM frequency to 1600MHz and tried playing again, but the same thing happened. I then dropped the DRAM frequency to 1333 but it's still the same. I also downloaded Open Hardware Monitor to keep an eye on the CPU and GPU temperatures while playing and they only peaked at about 60°C. Now I'm out of ideas so I've come here for suggestions. All help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Hallur
