Repeated crashes while playing any game with no BSOD
Hello,
I built a new PC and everything works great until I boot up a game. I've played: Battlefield 3, WoW, Dead Space, Batman Arkham City, and a few others. After anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hour the screen goes black, pc powers down, and the system hard reboots.
What I have done so far:
MemTest: 5 passes with no errors
Formatted and Reinstalled the system
Updated Every Driver I can think to update
Run BF3 with only the SSD hooked up
Driver Verification (ran into an issue with Anti-Virus so I uninstalled it and removed the drivers, this was the only time I received a BSOD)
Checked CPU, PSU, and GPU temps (all well within normal operating temps)
Restored BIOS to factory defaults
Nothing is overclocked to my knowledge (the GPU is factory "Superclocked")
Originally I suspected the PSU (it was making a rattling noise/buzz with just the fan running) so I RMA'ed it back to Corsair and they replaced it with a brand new PSU in the same model
I'm sure I left something out, if I remember more I will post again.
I followed the BSOD Posting thread, not sure if there are any dumps in there. I could not find any in the C:\windows\minidumps folders. If you need any more information or reports or anything please let me know and I will post it ASAP.
Any help regarding this issue would very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
