I'm on the 5th level of last light and had no problems up till now.

I keep getting random crashes where my pc seems to power down but the lights stay on and components still running. The monitor goes to sleep because it gets no signal and the pc obviously doesn't respond.

Temps on GPU don't go over 80 (6970) and CPU don't hit more than 53 on any core (2500k).
I've tried the latest drivers 13.12, and previous of 13.4.
Game was running fine up until this level and i can't understand why it wouldn't at least reset or power down completely. Kinda weird how it powers down but still runs.

Any ideas?
 
It does have an OC on it, although GPU mem use doesn't seem to go over 1100 yet. I will default the clocks and try that.
 
I thought my card was overclocked but i was mistaken so it rules that out, though it doesn't seem to tax it that hard anyway.
Verified files on steam.
Replayed level 'facility' fine until i got to the area with the water wheels and crawling through sewers, it seems to do it in this part of the map.

When it does crash the restart button doesn't seem to affect the pc, though i can see my keyboard reboot, i have to hold power off. I find that a bit strange?
Event viewer doesn't turn up anything, usually you'd expect it to throw out logs of catalyst crash errors but there is nothing.
 
I would be more inclined to believe it was a PSU/hardware issue if it wasn't for the fact it only does it in a particular area of a single game.
I think i will have to find a save game which is past this map to see if problems continue.
Thanks for the suggestions boys.
