Hey Everyone,
So I recently got a GPU and monitor upgrade and for some reason or another some of my games have been freezing resulting in me having to hold down my power button to force restart my computer. When the games freeze I can usually move the mouse around but Ctrl+Alt+Delete does nothing and the only way to get out of the game/screen is to force restart. The games with this problem are Battlefield 4 and Batman Arkham Knight.
Here is a breakdown of the things I have tried:
Here is my Build:
All games installed on Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM , my secondary hard drive
Please help! You're my only hope.
