Hi there,
My Computer has crashed a couple times, displaying one frame with sounds loops.
This has only happened while I've been playing games such as Battlefield 1 (Most of the crashes occur here) and only once in Grand Theft Auto V, of which, I know, are both CPU demanding games.
I have no idea what the cause is as it can't be due to overheating of the CPU and/or GPU; the CPU peaks at 65.c and the GPU peaks at 68.c (I don't think that's too high for a GPU temp, please correct me if I'm wrong.), but after these crashes happen I often feel quite some heat exhausting from the top of my Computer, just above the RAM sticks.
Just to make sure that the CPU would not overheat I made sure that every setting preventing thermal throttling was off, but I never see any throttling even if the computer gets a little hot.
I hope this isn't a software issue because I'm not particularly great at fixing that sort of stuff, such as BIOS updates, etc.
My Graphics Drivers are up to date.
Specs if needed:
CPU: i5-4690k @ 4.4Ghz (4.2GHz at the time of games crashing.)
RAM: 24GB (3x8) HyperX Fury DDR3 (Overclocked from 1600MHz to 1866MHz, Is that a cause?)
PSU: Rosewill Capstone 1000w (80 plus Gold)
GPU: MSI 1050Ti 4GB OC Edition (Single-fan model)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Anniversary
Hard Drive: Toshiba DT01ACA100 (Couple years old. Wiped thrice in its lifetime.)
Would like some help because I'm worried to play BF1 again until I can guarantee a fix is out there. I will continue to tone down some overclocking stuff to see if that fixes anything.
Thanks.
