Ok, so I'm having an intermitant problem where when I boot into a game for eg. BF3, Borderlands 2, Heaven benchmark or even PKR, my PC crashes, no blue screen just audio stuttering and the monitor is left with a black screen for the input.
So I've switched over the PSU, cleared the CMOS, removed all overclocks, tried 1 stick of RAM in each slot, reinstalled windows and the issue persists
I also tried my GPU in a friends PC, running BF3 no problem and even running GPU tool render stabilty test along with Heaven benchmark, so I think it's safe to assume that's ok.
The odd thing is when the game does boot I can play for hours without any heat problems or slow downs.
The only components left untested are the CPU, SSD and motherboard, the latter two being purchased in the last 3 months.
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Current Specs.
AMD Phenom II 955
Asus M5A97 PRO
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB
PNY NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
SanDisk Extreme SSD 240GB
Asus D1 Soundcard
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600 Watt / Tagan TG 580 watt
