So iI built my own computer a few years ago and I've been having some problems with it. I'm new to computer building and at times have no idea what i'm doing. I built this thing to play games, but it tends to freeze up at times and i have to shut my computer down and start it up again. Some games I can run on high settings and not have a problem with, others just tank on fps. Recently I've been playing Dayz and I have to turn the settings down really low in order for it to run smoothly. I find it hard to believe that i'd have to turn my settings down so low in order to play it, I was sure that this thing could play things on rather high settings.
