Hello buds, Im here just because I already ran out of options, and honestly I dont know what to do, sorry if this is the wrong forum.
Last week my rig started crashing while gaming, not just heavy games, every game.
After 10 minutes of playing, the pc just freezes, and I have to manually restart it.
I've already tested the CPU and GPU temps, CPU one doesnt go above above 45º, same with the GPU, 50º max. Stress tested too with PRIME95, everything ok.
Tested the DDR3 with memtest, 8 hours, and didnt have any failure.
Tryied using the PSU and HDD on another pc to test the problem with both, but that PC just runs great, no freezes or crashes.
OS is out of question too, formated 3 or 4 times, and tryied even windows 10. Crashes happened in every OS.
Any ideas buds? :(
 
Solution
It is your memory playing up. Test it by running the pc with one stick. If this still occurs, run it with your other stick. Don't know why memtest didn't give you an error though.

Running without my current GPU now to ensure it isnt the PSU (650w coolermaster). Even with the low consume onboard gpu it still crashes.
My specs are:
Asus Z87- C
I5 4690
Onboard intel HD (or 560 GTX nvidia)
DDR3 G.skill Sniper 2400mhz (just 1 stick, 4gbs)
650w Cooler master 80 plus

THanks for all the advices!

I used to have a Nvidia GeForce 9600GT that crashed everytime i played games. Clean the fan out and it would work for awhile.
I ended up buying a new Graphics card.
