Hello all, I am having crashes randomly while playing graphically intense games. It usually happens within 10 minutes while playing games like dayz and skyrim. It is rare but sometimes it crashes while watching youtube videos. The crash freezes my pc and requires a hard reboot to work again. there is no bsod with the crash.

my specs:
MSI A88X-G43 Motherboard
AMD Athlon X4 750k default clock
EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti sc
Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s
corsair cx750m psu

what i have done:
ran memtest, no errors
ran prime95, no crashing or errors
replaced psu

p.s.
the first psu i had was faulty and would turn on for a split second which makes me think it may have damaged my mobo. i think i have narrowed it down to a broken motherboard and msi's qc is already bad so any advice as to what to try now before buying a new motherboard would be nice.

-Ian

And to add i checked all voltages and they were correct so it couldnt be the psu. Temps are running fine as well. I reinstalled windows 8.1 and ruled out any driver issues.

i moved the ram to another slot and used crystaldisk info to check my hdd. System is still crashing after 3 minutes in skyrim.
