No, you have enough power overall to power that system. Are there any signs that the pc gives you? Does it make loud noises? Also, how hot is you cpu/gpu?

It seems random, but i havent experienced this yet while using lower settings, not happy about this seen as though ive spent so much on high end parts.

xD nice spot dude, I did not really research the components so I trusted that he had the right components xD
Your main problem now I that mobo. that might even be the solution to the problem, by getting an actual 1155 motherboard

My guess is that none of the pins are bent because it works (BTW I have no idea how it works) but you could possibly RMA it. Did you try the latest drivers?

Okay so the games dont seem to be crashing at all anymore on best settings, the annoying sounds is still there but oh well.
