Bit of a strange one, recently I had a few days where my PC was freezing in game and after trying lots of things it sorted itself out. I put it down to new thermal paste on the CPU, now I'm not sure.

Started playing shadow of mordor the other night and it crashed in game, the picture froze then went blank (no signal detected messages up) but there was still sound coming through. Tried all the usual smashing techniques but I had to had reboot it, when it starts up its at 800x600 or some ultra low res then installs the GPU and the screen goes back to 1080.

Tried Mordor again & crashed after 5 mins so I hard rebooted again and tried overwatch (which has been rock solid since launch) Same thing 3 times in a row when I gave up.

Went home with a gpu from work yesterday to confirm that's the issue and now it wont crash, games, heaven, furmark. All fine.

Any suggestions ?
