Hey guys,
I've been having this problem for awhile now, I built my PC around 2009, and I've started using it again to play some video games (Diablo 3 and WoW). At the time I was using a GeForce 9800+ and my computer started dead freezing randomly while I was playing through these games. I took my PC to a shop to run some diagnostic tests, and what the tech concluded was that the video card might be faulty, because he switched the card out with a spare and it seemed to work fine.
So I upgraded my card to a EVGA GTX 950, installed it fine, got the latest drivers without a problem, and my PC was running great for about a week. Last night, my PC did a dead freeze again after about 7-8 hours of playing Diablo. Figured it was someone telling me take a break, so I went to bed. Next day, booted it up, and I was only about to get in about 2-3 hours before it happened again, and then the next was around 1-2 hours. I've also been checking my temperatures pretty closely, but they don't seem to be spiking at around when these freezes happen. My CPU cores seem to stabilize around 55-60 during gameplay, and my GPU seem to spike at 65 degrees. I'm kind of desperate now since I've put in a decent amount of money, and was hoping if you guys had any idea what may be going on. Here are my specs below:
Windows 7 64bit
EVGA GTX 950 (latest drivers as of today)
XFX mb-750i-72p9 (latest bios as of today)
Intel Core2 Quad Q8400
750W PSU
4gigs of ram
Thanks guys for your time,
Thanh
