For the last few months when playing some games my computer would just crash. It would crash differently each time. Sometimes there would be a buzzing noise for a second, sometimes for 10, and sometimes not at all. Occasionally the computer would restart after a few seconds, other times I would have to hold the power button to make it restart.

I got a second monitor recently and have one plugged into the GPU and the other directly to the motherboard. Since then it's always the one plugged into the GPU that's so very messed up. I've taken some videos of the entire process of the crash and reboots.

The computer is the Asus ROG G20 with an Nvidia GTX 760

-Computer must be restarted by physical button repeatedly for 6 to 10 minutes until eventually it works fine.

-Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work

-Takes less than 15 minutes in The Witcher 3 to crash

-Takes less than 10 minutes in Crysis 3

-Witcher 3 gets 50 frames a second

-Crysis 3 gets 130 frames a second

-Opened computer, dusted every component, didn't fix anything. I sneezed three times.

-Got the computer around late November of 2015 and is a bit more than two years old.


That's everything useful. I think so anyway.
