Crashing during gaming:
Asrock z77 pro3 2500k (was at 4.5 on air, dialed it back to 4.0 on a coolmaster)
2x Radeon 7870 in crossfire
OCZ 750 PSU
2x120 kingston SSD
8G corsair
I really think it's one of my video cards at this point or possibly the PSU.
While play CS:GO i get a solid 250-300fps but after a couple min of game play my screen freezes (like a screen shot still image) and I get a loud buzzing noise in my headphones. Same thing happens with a couple min play time of BF4. I've never had ANY stability problems in the past.
I ran furmark and average 60fps, but the cards get extremely hot to the point were i set the fans at 80% to keep them cool. It has crashed during furmark but im still not sure if its one of the card or psu..... maybe even cpu but i don't think so.
Edit: I also notice a slight clicking sound coming from my PSU when the machine is off but plugged in.
What do you guys think? ill probably start my trouble shooting by pulling one of the video cards and seeing if it solve the problem. Then at least it narrows it down to the card or PSU. If that works ill swap the other card in and see if its stable, if it is then im going to assume its the PSU.
Edit: turns out it was one of the video cards (asus 7870) currently running on my vision tech 7870. Looks like its time to upgrade.
Thanks
