My system had been working great for about 2 years, but recently when I started playing a graphics intensive game after about an hour it will crash, my screen will go black and I'll hear a buzzing sound from the headphones/speakers. Moreover, when I restart and get back in the game the crashes start happening within a few minutes. Whats especially frustrating is that it started seemingly out of the blue. I'd been playing all last week and this only started on Sunday night. No changes to software.
Thus far, I have:
When running the game in windowed mode and watching my hardware the game crashes when the GPU is at 100% utility (running the game at below 2K) but its temperature never broke 65 degrees Celsius. I replicated the crash with the FurMark stress test showed that at 100% utility it crashed in about a minute but still just under 65 degrees Celsius well below the expected temperature for overheating.
Here's my system set up:
Thanks guys. I appreciate your help, especially since I learned to build a computer here.
Thus far, I have:
Cleaned out dust with compressed air
Reseated the graphics card and RAM
Installed up-to-date drivers for the graphics card
Updated Windows
Played the game monitoring my system until a crash
Run a p95 test to make sure its not the CPU/RAM
Run a FurMark stress test while monitoring temperature
Checked the PSU cords were attached firmly and correctly
Prayed
