Hi guys im going to do a improved post since my last one.

Just recently I have had an issue of my PC crashing when ever I start a game. The crashed cause my GPU to stop outputting anything and my monitor goes blank. (Just like if you unplugged it). The PC restarts afterwards.

The strange thing is the higher speed I have my fan at the longer it takes to crash. My temps are around 50 at load and never go over with my fan configuration. I never see a sudden increase and temps are stable at all times in gaming

This repeats every time I play anything, if I put the fan around 80% I get around 30 mins before crash.

I have the latest updates and drivers for all my hardware, this does seem like a driver issue going by the crash logs (given below) but doesn't explain the less urgent crashed when fan is faster.

Ive tried stock clock speeds and default settings, used old drivers also. Same issue.
Ive had this build for just under a year now, nothing like this has ever happened.

PC Specs:
i5-4690k Non OC
MSI GTX 970 Non OC
MSI GAMING 5 Z97
CX600M
Corsair Vengeance 1600 (16 GB)


I intalled "WhoCrashed" to help my find what was causing these crashes, this is what I got;

Hmm, very interesting. With this driver the gpu seems more stable. Too soon to see, I will keep this updated. Thank you!
