Hi,
My PC crashes after a few hours of play WarZ. I don't know if it happens on other games as haven't played them as long as warz but usually after 2 hours my PC goes all brown (or some random colour) and later has horizontal slashes and then I force reboot it using the button on my case. I can still talk to my friends while it is a solid colour and as soon as the horizontal lines come on I can't talk anymore (suppose the processes are all closed by then).
I have a R9 280X and a OCZ 500W PSU. Some say it may be the PSU's fault? Do I need a more powerful PSU?
I have quite a few things running off it, a SSD, 3/4HDDs, a corsair k95, i5 4670k, several silent fans (that are not so silent haha)..
Is the problem heat?
I have not OC'd during the BIOS as it is all default (auto) and the problem still persists, but in CPUZ it says my CPU is at 3.8GHZ when I use high perf mode (in power options) could this suggest software overclocking? I have checked AMD Catalyst Control and nothing is OC'd at all.
I think my MSI Intel Extreme Tuning Utility may be OC'ing as it says Turbo Boost. Should I uninstall it?
My CPU temps are at 60c right now (idle) and these look very high! I have a alpenfohn k2 mount doom and I arent even sure the fans are spinning..
