This has been happening for a while and I cannot for the life of me work out what's wrong.
My system will crash randomly, most commonly when starting games and it started when I played World of Tanks a while ago. Sometimes my system will also crash just using Google Chrome. My displays go to a random colour, usually orange, red, black or white (I have 2 displays) and it goes unresponsive. No BlueScreen dumps are found by BlueScreenView and Error viewer won't show anything constructive either.
It will occasionally hold up playing BF3 and seems okay playing things like Limbo or Binding of Isaac, but nothing else, and it won't work for long. It seems to crash when playing BF3 if I tab back into the game.
I have tried everything I can think of and I'm stumped. Please help if you can, I would really appreciate it. At the moment I am thinking it's my PSU, Motherboard or SSD (every time I boot after a crash steam 'updates' which seems odd).
Things I have tried:
GPU and CPU stress tests - 65 degrees C fine, without issues/crashes.
RAM tests - No errors showing (I have also tried it with one stick, then with the other to test for a faulty RAM stick, it didn't help)
Hard drive repair - using chkdsk /r ran fully and didn't help (on C: drive)
BIOS and driver updates.
Here's my specs:
CPU: AMD FX8350 4.00GHz
GPU: AMD Sapphire 7850 2GB
RAM: 8GB
Mobo: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
Storage: 250gb Kingston SSD (OS and Games)
1tb WD HDD (Games/Data)
500GB Seagate (Data)
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
PSU: Corsair RM650
Any help is massively appreciated, thank you.
