Hi, recently my PC keeps freezing completely in games and the only way to fix this is to restart the PC. When the crash happens the who PC locks up, if I have a youtube video or a stream running on the second monitor the video stops completely as well.

Alt+tab/Ctrl+Alt+Del don't work either and a restart is the only way to fix it.

It seems random when the crash will occur, recently I've been playing Deus Ex:HR and Anno 2070, both games have crashed multiple times on me, sometimes after 3 hours of play and others after only 15 minutes.

On the other hand I've played a fair amount of BF3 recently and no crashes have occurred during my playtime.

I recently upgraded my graphics card and I'm pretty sure the problems started around the time of the upgrade, but I can't be sure how long after.

Yes I upgraded drivers and I also removed the old drivers

Anyone got any help?

Your gpu is a pre overclocked card. It may be that it is unstable. Try using msi afterburner to increase the voltage slightly or reducing the clock speed.
