Last sunday I played a game of game of CSGO. I then took a break for an hour. I didn't touch my computer after the first game I just left the game open and walked away. When I played another game after I came back my pc started crashing seemingly unexplicably. It was working when I bought the computer up until this point.
I know it is not an issue with a corrupt game / games because it happened when I was messing about in photoshop once too.
It seems to happen in anything that takes more than minimum power. (In photoshop I was swapping brush packs and I accidentally pressed it twice because it wasnt loaded yet. That crashed my PC.
I can only play minecraft because that doesn't crash my pc but it is pretty boring compared to csgo.
What happens before the crash goes like this: I join a game in csgo right after it opens, I play for 30 seconds ish before it makes an audio loop of the last sound and my screen does something like this first(took pictures when it happens) https://gyazo.com/678f7bdeef68c612b51e5037be2c91f1
Does something like that for about 15 seconds or so before something like this happens.. https://gyazo.com/efa2f8c2eb3d4e50a4a800d66e9351c6 Not sure if it is visible but there are small red and green dots on the screen.
I am saying something like this/that because the graphical glitch is different sometimes but still a glitch none the less. Whenever this happens I am forced to restart via the power button.
(I have a 4-5 year old midrange gaming pc so it isnt great lol) My specs are:
OS: Windows 8
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd.-Model GA-78LMT-USB3
CPU: AMD Fx 6100
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
Yes all of my drivers are up to date.
Any insight to what might be happening? Sorry if this is a duplicate I just couldn't find a post exactly matching mine.
Thanks.
