So I've been quite happy with my rig for the past six months.

Specs:

Intel Core i7 3770K Ivy Bridge
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77
2242269 Corsair 8GB DDR3 1866MHz (2x4)
2279674 Corsair Gaming Series GS800
2291248 Corsair Carbide Series 500R
2258104 OCZ Agility 3 SSD 120GB
2234205 Western Digital Caviar Blue - 500 GB
2335623 Gainward GeForce GTX 670 (2 GB)



But it keep freezing on me when I play more demanding games. The Witcher 2, Heavily-modded Skyrim and Hard Reset.

I have however been able to run Metro 2033 fine, and Borderlands and simpler games equally fine.

During the freezing the sound usually glitches and the framerate stutters from 0-10 fps. The sound can best be described as buzzing or humming - it's basically just the sound from the game getting stuck.

Then I have to do a hard reboot, and the computer just seem to indicate what was wrong when booting up.

I downloaded MSI afterburner to monitor heat-buildup - this shows 5 minutes of Skyrim (Modded). Notice the insane temperatures!

How can I be rid of this? My computer can easily run most games at high or ultra settings with ease, but this problem is killing me!
