Ok, I am new to these forums, so i am posting is systems because that seemed to be the most logical place at the time.
When i play CS:GO, my system will crash/freeze ever hour or so, and i dont understand why. The crash/freeze causes my audio to turn off, and my screen turns into vertical strips of gray.
Comp specs:
FX 4100 @4.3 ghz
Radeon 6850 (saphire) @850/1110
AsRock 970 extreme 4
8 gb gskill ram @ 1600
500 gb hdd @ 7200
630W PSU silver
I have had this problem before in Tribes Ascend, and it happened once, I THINK, in GW2 (about 55% sure it did). I have done a lot of self reflection concerning why this is happening. Obviously, the first thing that i investigated was my OC's.
1) GPU- when i had my gpu OCed too high, it would freeze, but not in the same way. It would simply freeze but i would still have a still frame picture and sound. I have since then found a comfortable OC and havent had the same issue since. However, i would still get the vertical gray bars every once in a blue moon (this is all testing in T:A, i just got CS go today). So, naturally i turned to my CPU
2)When i first encountered this problem, i was at 4.2. So, i took it down to 3.9, and yet the problem persisted. So, i did a good bit of research on how to properly OC an fx line processor (basically disabling all throttling features etc etc, i do all my OCing with the multiplier and dont touch voltages, 4.3 was my goal). I was able to obtain 4.3 ghz and withstood the Prime95 stress test. My highest core temp was 56 for a brief moment, but nothing failed, there were no errors in the test whatso ever. I tested it for 1 hour (i have found that the over night ordeal really is useless considering stress like that is unrealistic and Prime95 is specifically designed to find errors in a matter or minutes).
I would still occasionally get the gray vertical bars of death, so i decided to turn off sound.
3) By limiting the sound in T:A and turning it off in GW2, i have not had any problems. However, in CS:GO i have the sound on and i get the crashes still. I dont want to turn the sound off because then i am nearly rendering myself useless in that game.
4) These crashes started occurring while i was using the 12.7-12.8 drivers. Could this be a driver issue? i have not really investigated this much.
Has anyone had a problem like mine with these gray vertical lines?
