I'm not exactly sure what is causing this, I recently rebuilt the pc after having a mobo failure and I only had this issue on a rare basis previously. So I have a brand new mobo installed as well as new ram and a new PSU. I checked the temp of my cpu in the BIOS right after the crash while gaming for 30 mins and it went from the low-mid 80's down to 60 and now idle it's telling me the temperature is around 29 c. Could it have something to do with the way I applied the thermal compound when putting the cpu fan back on? Or something to do with rebuilding it maybe the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler I have isn't on correctly? (it was my first time building it on my own) Or does this have something to do with my gpu drivers or temp??

specs: CPU intel i5 6600k GPU: Rx 490
OS: windows 7.
RAM: 8GB (2x4gb)
mobo: Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 5

*edit* I checked the temp of my CPU and GPU using HWMonitor and my CPU temp read between 60-70 and the GPU temp was around 75-almost 80 (while gaming). I'm not sure if that's the source of the crashing but I figured I'd relay the info.

*update* I used HWMonitor to check my cpu tempature and it's telling me the max value under "package" hit 87c while I was gaming. Max for the GPU was 81c.

Hey man, I used to have this problem but fixes go all over the place. Firstly, What worked for me was going into the bios and then manually changing my multiplier and clock speeds to that of my stock CPU speed (for you that would be 3500mhz ) and disabling any sort of automatic boost or automatic overclocking done by my motherboard like even turbo.

Another solution looks at disabling any other audio sources outputting from your PC, causing conflict and crashing your system altogether. This can simply be fixed by clean reinstalling audio drivers and stopping audio output coming from anything else except realtek. I would also look at http://www.resplendence.com/latencymon which was linked to me by a well respected tomshardware member...

The last solution can come from hardware failure which is unfortunate and expensive. (mostly from malfunctioning GPU's and Power-supplies)

80 for your GPU is not really a problem. Higher end GPUs are designed to take the heat. If you are overclocking, you might want to go return it to default settings and see if it stops, and then go back and gradually increase it. You could have jumped too fast and your power not handling it.

Speaking of which, what power supply do you have?
