I built my first PC back in March, and everything went well. Recently (started approx. 1 month ago out of the blue) whenever I play a game (only tested the initial crash when gaming, each subsequent crashes can happen when idling too) between 1-2 hours, my pc hard freezes, with nothing at al responsive, and requires me to manually turn the pc off. It will either freeze with a slight ‘pop’ coming through my speakers, or a constant buzzing sound. After the initial crash, each subsequent crash happens between 5-20 minutes. The crashes keep the picture that was currently showing, no BSOD or error codes appear.
I’ve tried everything;
- updating all my drivers
- complete re-install of windows 10 installing just the bare minimum to continue testing it
- I’ve RMA’d my motherboard and got a completely new one as they lost it (same crash happens on both mobo’s)
- tested my RAM & GPU my cousins PC with no issues
- disabled (and then re-enabled as it didn’t work) sound drivers as I believed my two sound cards were conflicting with each other (supremeFX and Realtek)
- and reset my bios to default, but nothing seems to work. Specs are:
Mobo: ASUS strip z270e
CPU: i7 7700K
CPU cooler: kraken x62 (was x52, changed in the last week)
GPU: strix 1080 ti OC
RAM: G.Skill tridentz RGB 16Gb 3200mhz
PSU: EVGA G2 750W gold
Storage: Samsung 960 evo 1Tb
It crashes in all sorts of games; demanding games like assassins creed: origins, but even games like Cities: Skylines. CPU Temps are around 50 - 60 deg C, with GPU temps around 50 deg C. The only thing I haven’t swapped or tested in another pc is my PSU (but I believe if it was failing, it would restart my pc instead of a hard freeze), my CPU, and my SSD.
Thank you in advance!
