Recently bought a new GTX 1060 3GB, had no problems ever with my PC before I installed the new GPU. Once I installed the GPU, installed the drivers, etc. I started playing some more demanding games; DayZ, Elite Dangerous, H1Z1: King of the Kill, CSGO, getting great FPS within these games. Although, sometimes I will play the game 30-60 mintues. then they randomly crash, at random times sometimes run perfectly, no crashes, then crash out of nowhere hours later.
DayZ
Ultra/V-Sync On: 60FPS
Without V-Sync: 70-120
I mentioned V-Sync with this game because in some of the games I play on this GPU, turning on V-Sync seems to lessen the amount of PC crashing. The more FPS I have in games, the more the PC crashes pretty much.
The games usually crashes after a few hours of play time at random, has gotten better.
Elite Dangerous
Ultra/V-Sync Off: 250-300FPS
This game crashes the PC as soon as I try to jump to a different system. Instant, always, tried it about 5 times, always at the same time, and place, as soon as I initiate a jump.
H1Z1: King of the Kill
High/Ultra V-Sync On: 30-60 FPS
Game plays very nicely throughout a game, sometimes will crash PC at random times just as DayZ does.
CSGO
High V-Sync Off: 120-300 FPS
Game runs beautifully, play some competitive matches, get through some of them, sometimes they'll crash the mid-way through matches, etc. Probably the game that causes the most PC crashes.
Pretty much, the PC just crashes while playing games, at random times, not any specific things triggering them, besides Elite Dangerous. I thought this could be from a dirty case, took the PC apart, cleaned out the GPU, CPU, all the fans, and the PSU, still had crashes after that. When the PC does crash, it completely shuts off without warning, the only thing that remains on is the power buttons LED that blinks. Have the flip the PSU switch off then back on for the PC to reboot or else the power button will not work. Thought it might be my GPU or CPU over heating, checked the temps, not it...cpu runs at about 19C-25C Idle and 25C-50C under load, GPU Idles at around 30C-35C, under load the GPU is at about 40-65 depending on the game. Checked the CPU, put new thermal paste on it, still have crashes, wondering at this point what it could be. If anyone could help that would be very much appreciated, thank you for reading!
