Freezing During Games original, now More Often.
Hey guys, new to the forum and trying to solve a really odd problem. I've got a build that has been running smoothly for a while and over the last month or two I've started getting random crashes during gaming. It will either be an audio-loop frozen screen, or sometimes a brown screen that hangs for a minute then "display driver crashed" and it kicks back in after an alt-tab. Recently it has been freezing solid in games and forcing multiple restarts.
I will drop my event viewer and crash reports here. I am honestly pretty stumped. I thought maybe:
my PSU is dying? it's older
My original SSD (I have 3...) is dying? it's older
My additional 8GB (2x4) sticks of RAM that I added in a few months ago are bad? I ran Memtest for 3 consecutive nights and had no Errors on 3-4 passes through each time.
Otherwise I am completely stumped. I updated my Intel Rapid Storage Driver from Asrock's site.
