Hey guys so its my week off work and my pc has started playing up. This has only started this week from about Sunday.. What happens is when im playing (Certain) games after any random amount of time the pc will lock up and either have to try and task manager it off where i see the message "AMD driver has stopped responding but has recovered" or will crash my whole pc and i will have to force a restart. To me it seems really odd its only just acting up now.
No new hardware has been installed and its not dusty or overheating.
Anyway heres a list of what i have tried so far.
Clean the whole card with compressed air and checked connections and cables to the psu.
Checked the pc make sure its not being blocked or not sending enough power.
Removed the whole amd drivers and ran a driver and registry cleaner/fix.
Windows mrfix it thing..
Underclocked the GPU to see if that helps.
Ive checked the temps of my GPU when it crashes and when comes back on. 50 idle. 68 under load. CPU 27-34
Thats all i can think of at the moment. Games it doesn't seem to like at the moment are Darksiders 2 (but i thought it was just down to bad port) and just recently borderlands 2. Its been fine with these games for ages no problems at all and just as i have a week off bam. Problem time.
Ive played games like bf3,css,l4d,cod,tf2 etc etc and they all work fine.
If anyone has any suggestions for things i havnt tried yet or know anything about this orrr even if its the games fault and not my hardware id love to know as its getting a little irritating now.
Anyway im writing this pretty late so i apologise for bad grammar or anything and i look forward to any responses to anyone who can help.
