Okay, three years ago I bought my computer for gaming, (also started using it for game development) and it had served me well enough. In the past month or so, the computer began running games poorly. Not only slows down, it crashes and freezes when playing games, also sometimes when watching youtube videos. Although rare, it happens atleast once a day. It really began getting on my nerves, so I reinstalled windows 7 entirely (same OS I had, just new) and cleaned some dust from the inside of it (not perfectly, but way way cleaner than before).
It helped for a while, but now I begin experiencing this again. Once my computer went to blue screen of death, I checked the crash reasons - it said video hardware error.
Specs:
Intel i5 4570 Quad Core 1150s Tray
Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2
Asrock B85M Pro4 Retail
Crucial 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 CT102464BA160B
Seagate 1TB 3.5'' Sata3 7200 64MB
Lancool Tower PC-K9X
Gigabyte Geforce GTX780 3G OC Retail
FSP PSU 650W Raider A.PFC Silver 80+
a few months ago I added an extra 8gb stick. Kingston something with 1600MHz DDR3.. ^^
What could possibly be the issue? How do I find out if it is and how could I approach the solution?
I would prefer to avoid big expenses on making it work again, as I am joining the army in half a year and won't have big use to my PC after that.
