Sapphire HD 5770 crashing - solved
Hello :)
Recently, while playing graphically intense games, my system has been crashing with no BSOD. (simply, just turning off) My first reaction was heat, so I began to watch my temps. They never reached my emergency turn off levels set in the BIOS. I then figured my PSU was not strong enough to handle 100% load, so I upgraded to a 600W PSU. (rated far higher then what my system pulls) The error still persists... so, I updated my M/B BIOS, update my VBIOS, ran memtest (with 0 errors over 4 hours), ran prime95 (4 hours with no system crash), ran furmark3D (for 30 minutes, no crash) It usually crashes within 10 minutes of playing, for example, Need for Speed ProStreet. Keep in mind, this game is rather old and a lot less demanding then other games. It will also crash playing Medal of Honor for about 10 minutes or so. Playing World of Warcraft, it usually won't crash. (though it happens rarely) Scouring the system event logs proves fruitless. With no BSOD, at that, I assumed it would have to be a hardware issue. (yes, I have it set to show BSOD instead of restarting immediately)
What should I do? :x
