    Computer freeze when playing games


    My first time posting to a forum, as I usually just read around.

    Hi all, I have read various forums and googled around and cannot figure out why my computer freezes when playing games.

    My computer has frozen on Total War Rome 2 since the fresh windows install. Before, it froze on BF4, Starcraft 2, Assassins Creed Black Flag, Civilization 5 (Dx9 and Dx11) and a few others. This is a new build from February and began freezing suddenly about a week ago (4/26ish).

    When I say "freeze" i mean the computer completely locks up, I cant tab out or CTRL-ALT-DEL and the mouse just hangs. I have gotten the BSOD 1-2 times but freezing is much more common.



    My specs:
    AMD FX 8350 - black edition
    GIGABYTE GTX 770 4gb (furmark - 4600 points)
    2x 4gb G-Skill
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    650W consair PSU

    I have tried:
    Fresh install of windows - Fully updated
    GPU Stress test (1080p Furmark - min 30c max 72c)
    GPU drivers are up to date.
    memtest86 - 4 passes on each stick
    change settings to "power saver"

    I am stuck and hopefully these debugger reports can help me. Thank you to anyone reading this.

    Hello,

    Seems the dump files are not in there. Go to this folder: C:\Windows\Minidump, check if there are any files in there.

    If not, follow this Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD to make sure it is configured properly.

    Other than that.

    memtest86 - 4 passes on each stick
    You want to run memtest for atleast 8 passes. Preferably over night.
