Recently my computer would lock up, freeze, and crash. ONLY when I exit a game.
If my computer does not freeze or crash after exiting the game, it would act very strange. Keystrokes are very unresponsive and audio has a lot of static when playing any form of audio via soundcard or my usb headset.
I do have the latest drivers on all my hardware and my system is well below thermal limits.
My cpu overclock is STABLE, RAM is reporting no problems. Hard drive is fine, GPU(s) are running games no problem. Only when I exit games, my computer acts up.
A few troubleshooting steps I have taken.
1.Switched RAM, problem still occurs.
2.I have 2 graphics card in SLI, disabled one and ran on both cards, still getting freezes.
One important note, I have my RAM running @ 1245mhz, and if I go a notch up its @ 1600, in which my computer WILL NOT POST or BSOD.
I've noticed after my computer HAVE CRASHED, and I go directly into the BIOS, my RAM is now configured @ 1600, something I did not set.
How is that even possible? Seems like the culprit of the crashes is when my RAM configures itself to run @ 1600. I've tried switching RAM and problem still happens.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, I may have to do a virus scan or fresh install afterwards and will follow up.
Here are my system configuration:
CPU: Core i7 920 @4.14ghz 1.34v
RAM:G Skill 1333mhz 12gb
Graphics card: 2x EVGA GTX 590 Classified
Motherboard: Asus Rampage 3 Black Edition w/ Thuderbolt audio/lan card
HD: Western Digital 1tb
PSU: Corsair ax1200
