hi all, I'm new on here please be gentle..

To start my PC consists of the following:

1600mhz 16gb ram
amd fx4130 CPU
hd7870 2gb twin forza GPU
hd7850 2gb twin forza GPU (^crossfire^)
corsair cx750m PSU
250gb ssd
2tb hdd
corsair h80i
4x 120mm fans
2x 140mm fans
all tucked into a corsair 300R case.

nothing is over clocked

my problem is that i cant play games on my PC anymore without it maxing out my CPU and crashing the game, sometimes even shutting the hole thing down with a blue screen and CPU overload warning.. Ive also had a directx 3d app error a few times. as for everything else i use my PC for it fine i can run multiple programs without a hitch and CPU stays stable with low usage.

games i play are Dayz, arma3, COD, and far-cry, all multi-player mainly, Ive not had problems in the past but its been a month now of this problems and Ive done everything me and my online buddy's can think of.

Ive tried a complete re install of drivers, a complete re install of windows/program/games, installed OTT cooling methods just in case, Ive striped it down and made sure every component is seated right and used malware bytes and other anti virus software.

i am stumped!

Ive been told its my CPU bottle necking my capability but it was fine before?.

if anyone's got any ideas it will be much appreciated

thank in advance

Doug
