Whenever I Play CS-GO, after 30 minutes of playing it crashes, and the sound gets stuck. I have to hard shut down the computer by holding in the power button and then turn it on again. My Full Specs are:
i7 920 2.67GHz cooled by Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO
8GB DDR3 RAM @ 1066MHz (max speed supported by CPU)
ASUS 2GB OC GTX 750Ti
Dell 0X501H Motherboard (X58 chipset)
475W stock PSU (that came with the prebuilt PC)

This was a full Dell Studio XPS 435T on which I upgraded the GPU and CPU cooler

I did have an overclock to the Graphics card which was stable in a number of games (GTA V, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Far Cry 3, Battlefield 3) but crashing issue was there only in CS-GO. I disabled the Overclock profile, still the same issue. Temps are normal as well. CPU is anywhere from 60°C to 65°C and GPU sits in the low 50°C range.

The crash seems like the computer runs out of memory, but i have 8GB and while idling, computer doesn't use more than 3GB and it is usually using 2GB always. so a game that can run max settings on 4GB RAM, this is strange. Also if it matters, I have latest updates from Windows 10 and latest Nvidia drivers. Case has 1 120mm intake in the front and a 92mm exhaust in the back (however don't this this matters as temps are fine.) Just trying to give as much info as possible. All games other than CS-GO work flawlessly.

I used to get the same exact problems while playing Csgo and I fixed it by updating/reinstalling my drivers. Especially audio driver.

If updating the drivers doesn't help, try to reinstall CSGO, since all other games are working fine, I don't think it's a hardware issue.

I doubt the PSU is failing. Why can I play more demanding games than CS-GO without a problem if the PSU is failing?

Ill try reinstalling the game and the drivers. im on the latest BIOS. and system never locks up on idle. ive left on my computer for 2-3 days at a time alot.
