At my wits end.

Hey guys,

I’m not happy :mad:

played some CS go tonight, first game, 10 minutes in, and then it locked up. Just CS. I was able to control+alt+delete back to the desktop, then quickly join the game again.

I got a new gpu (same thing happened on the old card) I changed to Corsair RGB ram, and my NVME drives are new..

what could this be?.?

it was working great all day and temps both gpu and cpu are good.

my PSU is a EVGA GA 850w gold.

Any help ASAP would be great. I think it could be the mobo, as I had that crashing the system until I XMP enabled the ram.

Tbh I’m not 100% sure, I only played COD Cold War for 15 minutes and was running like butter..?

What is the cpu? Is it overclocked? Can you reduce the overclock?

Games can be buggy best to try something else to clarify if its game specific.

Ok, i will give Cold War a good go tomorrow and see, I just assumed that cs being a potato game it would be fine , but guess it doesn’t work like that.
