Random blackscreen lockups while playing LoL/Sims 3
So, when i play League of Legends (or Sims 3) my PC sometimes gives me black screen and stops responding until i reboot it. For Sims 3 it usually occurs once in a few hours, not every session (been fine for the last couple of months, tho I don’t play it that much). For LoL – pretty much every session, once per hour or so. Crashed twice in my last game. And i am not sure if these problems r the same, but sometimes when i do other random tasks, PC freezes up for a few seconds then goes back to normal again. I have no idea whats goin on, and, tbh, im freakin out. Got a few opinions that it might be a faulty hardware, but i have no clue how to find out which one
There seems to be no pattern to when that happens, might be in a middle of nowhere when only my champion is present or during a heated teamfight. Or anything in between
This is what i tried so far (and it didnt really help):
Official Windows hotfix p95v2810.win64 (Issue there is described as: This issue occurs because of heavy group policy use and the presence of SCOM causing a deadlock condition between the Lsass.exe process, the Redirected Drive Buffering Subsystem (Rdbss.sys) driver, and the Winsock kernel)
Jumping between different GPU drivers (with/without DDU)
Various benchmark/stress tests such as Heaven (did just fine for a couple hours, then i turned it off) and Prime95 (2 hours, also fine, tho one temperature score* was 90+, so i didnt think its a good idea to let it run further when im not around). Have a HWiNFO-log for the latter. Memtest64 also found no errors.
Tweaking Radeon Graphic settings for both games
Checking power supply voltage in the BIOS, seems okay
Re-installing Windows with/without updates
Checking for malware, CureIt didnt find anything, there r also no suspicious processes in task manager
BIOS is also up to date
*As for cooling/temperature: aside from one mysterious extra-high sensor (marked as Temp2 in SpeedFan and Auxiliary in HWiNFO), others hardly exceed 50-60 even under a heavy load, so i am pretty sure thats not the issue
I do not have a bucket of hardware pieces just lying around, so I would really like a way to figure the issue out without swapping them. Thanks in advance
