Recently installed AMD FX 8370. Crashes only when i play Overwatch usually a minute or two into playing the game. Tried turning off all CPU and RAM extra settings from BIOS still freezes. Tried CPU MAX @ 90% in hardware. all drivers from device manager are up to date. not sure if motherboard was ever updated. sometimes I have to restart the computer manually as it freezes w/ no sound; other times it goes to desktop and shows blizzard overwatch bug report.

AMD FX 8370 w/ wraith cooler
6gb RAM in 1,2,4 dimm slots (4slot is up against large wraith cooler)
GTX 950
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 rev 4
 
Solution
and this only happens when playing overwatch? try running a cpu stress test and see if it happens and check your temperatures. did you install any new ram? run memtest and see if you get any errors
