Help with my New Titan build - crashes to desktop

Finally got my new watercool build up and running (as per sig) and all is fine except some games wont work at all and just crash before the menu loads.

So far I get the same useless generic windows 10 error message about the program has stopped responding and the program crashes on Timespy benchmark, Mordor and BF1

Now I can run all the other futuremark benches fine with no issues. I can run furmark for an hour.

I did think that perhaps my overclock might not be stable so put everything back to default last night and still got the same errors.

On timespy it crashes out when the loading bar is about a third along. Mordor crashes out after the splash screen loads up but before the menu. BF1 crashes before the menu as well.

Running the latest drivers.

Any ideas what's going wrong please?

Player Tomb raider for 2 hrs last night no issue. There are lots of other games which play fine too.
 
Is it a new Windows install? Could possibly be outdated libraries or missing libraries. Could even be worth checking the install files of the crashing games as well - Do the 'vaildate files' from steam etc. When I switched to my 6850K from a 3930K, I had a similar thing but had every intention of doing a clean W10 install as I had not done it in ever and going that route has kept my games running sweet as.
 
Might need a clean install, hadn't done it yet. Used DDU to remove AM|D stuff,.

All games verify okay with steam, tried that already.

I just can't figure out the common factor between the games which don't work.

I hated doing a clean install and was fearful of losing all those programs etc but it was really painless and I was all done in a couple of hours and that includes all my old programs. I just made sure all my docs/pics were safe before starting.
 
I did a full back up before i dismantled my old pc, you can never be too safe ;)

Was hoping to avoid the clean install. Oh well, I have a super fast 951 so it shouldn't be that awful.
 
I would try notching down your CPU Overclock. I assumed my CPU OC was fully stable and passed synthetics and what not fine, but had issues with Timespy crashing and GTA 5 in particular while the rest of my library was mostly fine. could be worth trying to lower the OC a notch and seeing if the issues persist.
 
When making a substantial change, especially between hardware manufacturers - I always do and recommend a clean OS install.

As for BF1, there are quite a few people getting crashes from the Beta - but it's mostly related to Origin in-game... so disable that and it might not crash.

When I first played it, I had no issue... when I re-installed Windows on the same hardware with the same drivers - I had the same type of crash as you in that game and disabling origin in-game worked.

Tried that. Put gpu and cpu both back to stock and same issue. Suspect it just needs a reinstall of windows.

Afterall I have swapped my motherboard,ram and gpu in one go! I was just being lazy ;)
 
I'd agree likely just a software/driver issue. Re-installation of Windows and all drivers (chipset etc) would be your safest bet just to rule that out.

If the cards running nicely in furmark I see no reason to blame that. CPU loaded up and tested too? As they can be heavy cpu usage games those two.
 
Definitely worth a re-install.........have only completed my 4th on my main system over the last 2 months due to various changes being made over that time. Overly OCD perhaps, but some issues that raised their heads over that time made it worthwhile.

One particularly odd one was no Origin games being able to be launched no matter what I tried (everything else was fine in Steam, benchmarks etc), coincided with a few GPU driver changes - after program re-installs etc, it ended up being the onboard audio I was trying out, as event viewer was pointing towards a Sonic Studio problem, as anyone who's danced with ASUS boards post-Anniversary update can attest to.
Got shot of it, went back to a dedicated solution and hey presto - another lesson learned for the next OS re-install.
 
Well that will teach me to be lazy, fresh windows install and all is good :)

Just got to reinstall about 50 programs now :(
