Hey.

I am having a problem with nvidia games only. 4 games so to speak that always crash at random times while playing them. The games are:

-Borderlands 2 & The Pre Sequel
-Warframe
-Guild Wars 2

The crash consists of the screen turning black, the sound looping for about 5 seconds and then the computer attempting to restart. After this nothing happens so I have to hard reset the computer. I have no clue what is causing this and I have tried the following:

-Uninstalling/Reinstalling + Updating the graphics drivers
-Reformating my computer/reinstalling windows
-Reinstalling the card
-Reinstalling all the games
-Removing PhysX

I also have benchmarked my system and ran P95, a CPU 100% tool, and many graphical benchmarks that put my GPU to 100%. None of these, or other games, crash my system, only ones that are 'sponsered' or partnered with nvidia.

My system specs are as followed:

CPU: AMD A8 5600k
GPU: Gigabyte 650ti OC
RAM: 8GB HyperX Fury
HDD: WD 1TB Blue
PSU: 450W

Has this happened to anyone else, or does anyone know a fix?
Thanks.

Thanks for this suggestion but it can't be this as I benchmark the card for hours without having this problem and it doesnt rise over 75 degress at 100%.
