BSOD when gaming
hi all im having an issue with my new build.. wen i try and game i get a black screen of death, then the system restarts.. it wont happen instantly during gaming but at random times.. sometimes it happens after 5 min others after 30min-hour.
the below happens:
pc restarts
speakers make a buzzing noise and then pc restarts
game freezes and i have to alt+tab out and close
pc black screens then restarts
sometimes i here a usb connect/disconnect sound, sometimes it says display driver has stopped working.
things i have done:
uninstalled all amd drivers (once using add/remove programs and once using amd remove all drivers tool)
re-installed amd 14.4 drivers and also tried older drivers
got all the latest drivers off of gigabyte website for my mobo
added aditional fans for cooling
cleaned out the pci-e slot and de-dusted my components
removed and reseated componetns
ran chk/f and seatools for windows tool (my drive came back in full working condition)
ran memtest86+ for 10 passes (no errors found)
ran prime95 for 2 hours (again no errors or lock ups temp never went over 36c)
ran furmark for 2 hours full burn test 1366x768, AAx8 extream burn test ( again no bsod and no artifacts temp stayed constant at 67c on full load throughout test)
gpu temp never goes over 65c in CCC and i have core temp running and non of the cores seem to go over 30c when gaming
have antimalware bytes and Microsoft security essentials: ran both, no viruses or malware present
win7 64bit sp1
mobo: ga-78lmt-usb3
cpu: fx4350
ram: corsair value 4gb @1333
gpu: vtx3d r9 290-x-treme edition

hdd: seagate 500gb 7200rpm

any idea what be the bother chaps? the only other thing is that i downloaded a windows 7 iso (as i couldn't get the official Microsoft one to work) and am currently running trial until i get paid on Friday to buy the official software so i can get my key from aria-pc
have currently set pc to do not reboot and have changed dump to small memory dump 256kb and have access to the location so waiting on next bsod,
