    PC Hangs when gaming


    Heya, hoping someone can help me out.

    I haven't used my computer in about 3 months and now using it again it crashes when I play a game about 15 minutes in. The game will start stuttering really bad and then just stop and hang. I previously thought it was the nVidia streaming service cause I disabled it and it stopped doing it as much but now it is back to it 1 day later.

    I suspected bad memory. Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and got nothing. Where can I start?

    There aren't any BSOD's happening by the look of things, but I did notice a few of these errors prior to you initialiing the memory diagnostic:
    Code:
    Event[32667]:
      Log Name: System
      Source: Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM
      Date: 2014-12-05T18:10:47.000
      Event ID: 10016
      Task: N/A
      Level: Error
      Opcode: N/A
      Keyword: Classic
      User: S-1-5-18
      User Name: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
      Computer: Alex-PC
      Description: 
    The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID 
    {C97FCC79-E628-407D-AE68-A06AD6D8B4D1}
     and APPID 
    {344ED43D-D086-4961-86A6-1106F4ACAD9B}
     to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
    Start with this:

    1. Ensure Windows is fully updated
    2. Ensure all device drivers are updated (e.g. video card, sound card etc. etc.)
    3. Run an sfc/scannow to check for corrupt system files:

    1. Click Start
    2. In the search box, type cmd
    3. In the list that appears, right-click on cmd.exe and choose Run as administrator
    4. In the command window that opens, type sfc /scannow and hit enter.
    5. Report the output from the command window once it finishes.

    D:\Users\Alex>sfc/scannow

    Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

    Beginning verification phase of system scan.
    Verification 100% complete.

    Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
    That's all.

    EDIT: And forgot to mention that after the Memory Diagnostic, I didn't receive any info from it after I logged back on so I FIGURED everything passed.

    Yes, nothing was available. Everything is up to date.

    EDIT: Added picture. Not sure if this is relevant, now that you are talking about drivers.

    OK. You could try testing RAM again, but using the industry standard test:

    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    I don't think its a RAM issue though. Possibly an overheating problem. Please follow this, and post back screencapture images of temp.:

    Overheating the CPU doesn't seem to be an issue. Stayed stable through a very high burn.
