Hi my name is Sebastian, I am 15 and Here are my system specs:

CPU: I7-4770k@3.4GHz
GPU: EVGA GTX 770 4gb SuperClocked
MotherBoard: Asus ROG Maximus VII Hero
Hard Drive: WD Black 3TB 7200RPM
RAM....yeah there's a problem..all i know is that it is 12GB (3gb a stick) at 1600MHz the ram is from a dell xps 8700 i got for last Christmas, i have put new parts in it ever since with only a few remaining pieces from it including: the cpu, ram, and optical drive.
PSU: Corsair CS750m
CPU fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
OS: Windows 8.1 64 bit

For Several weeks now i have been trying to solve a problem i encountered after installing a new cpu fan. when i play games, my display driver crashes and the screen flickers or the window closes. I honestly can't think of what the problem might be. i tested the graphics card out on a friends computer and we were able to play very graphics intense games just fine. also my hard drive crashed a little after the problem occurred. i got a new hard drive and re-installed all my stuff, so the hard drive is not the problem. what is interesting though is that, when i move my graphics card to my second pci slot and play a game, the problem occurs differently. instead of the game crashing instantly, it takes about 5 to even 30 minutes of gameplay for the problem to happen. if anyone has any suggestions, please tell me, i'm willing to try anything at this point.

Have you tried reinstalling the driver? If you haven't tried it yet, use DDU to uninstall your drivers and do it on safe mode, then install the display drivers all over again.

When you bought a new HDD, you had to reinstall even Windows right? So if that's the case, then your motherboard might be at fault here.

i used DDU as you suggested and reinstalled the newest version of my graphics drivers then i played some games and they all crashed as usual. so if it's the motherboard, how would i be sure?

Let's not jump to that conclusion just yet.

When you replaced your HDD, did you have to reinstall your WIndows? Or did you just make a transfer?

Then it's most likely your motherboard. You can process an RMA with Asus if you've registered your motherboard through them.
