New to PC gaming and its been awesome so far. But I'm having trouble running an old game. The game in question is The Witcher:Enhanced Edition. Witch doesn't seem very enhanced atm. It keeps crashing to a gray screen then goes black. I then have to hi the reset button. Sometimes it crashes to the desktop (since i started playing in windowed mode) but sometimes to gray screen still. Before only gray screen crashes. I've read this has to do with temperature problems but I'm using HWMonitor and temperatures don't go over about 56C-60C for the CPU and GPU.(I've checked after a crash) Also no other games crash it seems to be just this one after i play a while(30mins sometimes 1hr). Its hard to tell at what point but it seems to be random. The game plays great other wise. Using Fraps ive seen 120fps dipping down to about dipping to about 80 at times. I'm wondering if this has to do with the issue?
Ive tried playing the game in windowed mode and compatibility mode on XP,7 and different service packs with no luck. All my drivers are up to date although i do use the Ge Force Experience to update them. Again no issues with other games so far.
The windowed mode app i use:http://
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Crucial BX100 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB FTW ACX 2.0 Video Card
Case: Thermaltake Chaser A31 ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/RSBS DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 OEM (64-bit)
This is a new build. i put it together July 2015.
Any advise on how i can determine whats making this game crash even by installing some app maybe will be greatly appreciated. My google and forum research has got me nowhere hopefully someone can help. Thanks.
