Hey guys, I have this huge problem that every game i play on my computer crashes to desktop without any errors. Every game crashes for me, sometimes it takes 5 minutes to crash and other times it could take hours. The games I play that I crash on are all on lowest graphics settings (CSGO, League of legends, Dota 2, Witcher 3 etc..)

I thought my graphics card was the issue so I upgraded to an EVGA geforce GTX 970 from an AMD 7950
but I still crash. I'm going crazy and i don't even know what the problem is. all drivers are up to date.

Im on windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

My specs are:

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970

CPU : Intel Core i5-3570 Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...

Motherboard: Asus Thunderbolt P8Z77-V Pro

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB

PSU: Thermaltake TR2 700W 80Plus Bronze Certified Power Supply

I downloaded bluescreenview but my crashes don't show up even though i followed this guide

One of the crashes that does show up are from a few months ago and its the "ntoskrnl.exe" one.

I also ran prime95 test and i bluescreened but the bluescreen didn't register

in event viewer I saw these errors

This thread is old but in case people have the same problem, this motherboard automatically tries to overclock the CPU causing it to crash so you have to turn off the "SMART BOOST" or whatever it was called in BIOS
