Sounds like somethings overheating or clocked too high.

Have you clocked the system? CPU? RAM? Graphics Card?

If so, go into the BIOS and reset it back to default settings, then test again.

If not, get yourself a temperature monitoring program, some may have come with your motherboard and graphics card software, and monitor the temps when your playing your games. Figure out whats getting hot.

You could also check Windows logs to see if its reporting anything useful.

Nothing's clocked and the highest temp I've had is 60 degrees on the GPU and 40 on the CPU but I'll check windows log
Thanks BW

Check the logs and reset the BIOS anyway just for good measure

could be memory setting related/or gpu voltage/driver related idk

Parts needed.

My guess is OCP kicking in on the PSU.

you enabled xmp profile for your memory in the bios? might need bit more cpu northbridge voltage with 16gb not sure what its labelled as on amd systems

BlackMamba · 30 Oct 2014 at 17:02

Ok I'll look into that thank you for the help BW

wazza300 · 30 Oct 2014 at 17:02

latest motherboard bios might help aswell with stability

BlackMamba · 30 Oct 2014 at 17:09

I'll look into that as well thanks BW

BlackMamba · 30 Oct 2014 at 19:01

So I'm updating my bios and updating all my drivers and making those edits to my bios and I'll get back to you all after woulds many thanks BW

BlackMamba · 30 Oct 2014 at 19:07

run Memtest for a few hour's

P4Clock · 30 Oct 2014 at 19:36

would 1000w PSU be ok for that system?
i know that sounds silly, but a normally system would be ok however you have
200W+ CPU
2 x 250W+ GFX cards
under load your at around 650w to 750w without all the other items, and RAM, Mobo, fans, water pump, HDD's, LED's? that all add up to over 250w easy, the high clock AMD chips are also well known for killing motherboards

Threepwood · 30 Oct 2014 at 19:45

hmmm, unlikely.

Could try with only one GPU to half rule it out. Kinda.

Does it happen with only one gpu installed?

BlackMamba · 30 Oct 2014 at 20:00

I'll run memtest then I'll see about upgrading the PSU got any suggestions also does anyone have any suggesting for a new PSU many thanks BM

Threepwood · 30 Oct 2014 at 20:29

I'm doubting it is your PSU now mate

BlackMamba · 30 Oct 2014 at 20:35

Why? BM
