Alright, I've recently bought a Zotac GTX-960 4GB GPU and a 500W Aerocool PSU, but whenever I play games on high settings, like Rainbow Six: Siege, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, and WarThunder, my PC crashes for no reason, screen just goes black and I can do nothing. I have to turn off the PC and turn it on again. I've read similar problems and made sure that all of my cores are not parked. It still crashes but this time it automatically restarts the PC.

My PC specs are:

Intel Core i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz 3.30GHz
6.00 GB RAM
64-bit operating system / Windows 10
Standard Dell motherboard
500W KCAS PSU
GTX-960 4GB

PS : I don't think it's due to overheating

Hey there, kimos32.

This does sound more like a GPU issue rather than anything else. And most likely a driver problem. Try updating the GPU drive and/or rolling back a version as sometimes the newest available drivers might have some glitches. Also, make sure that you have all mobo drivers up to date as well.

I don't think you can't run NFS: Most Wanted at high settings since your PC's specs should cover the requirements, having in mind it's a 2012 game and you have a 4GB GPU, 6 Gigs of RAM and an i3 at 3.30GHz (even if it's second generation).

Hope that helps.
