New set-up problem

nrobjohn · 24 Apr 2012 at 08:48

Hi Guys, not sure if this is the best place to post but....
basically i put together a new system the other day.

CPU Intel Core 3820 3.60GHz
RAM Kingston HyperX Genesis Blu 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ
Videocard Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 2048MB GDDR5
Storage 60GB SSD/500GB HD
Motherboard MSI X79A-GD65 Intel X79
Display Samsung 23" 120Hz 3D Gaming Monitor
OS Windows 7 64 bit
PSU Coolmaster 700w silent pro

But for some reason when i'm playing games, could be withing five minutes or half a hour but the screen goes black and the sound keeps repeating. i can minimize to desktop but it wont open back up so i have to close it.

CPU Temps hit around 70c max
GPU Temps hit around 65c max

Any help would be much appreciated as did buy all from overclockers

Pc Problem with games

Hi guys,

I did make a post about this a couple of days ago but for some reason it has been deleted.
I ordered a new system from overclockers the other day :
Intel Core 3820 3.60GHz
Kingston HyperX Genesis Blu 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 2048MB GDDR5
Sound card On board
60GB SSD/500GB HD
MSI X79A-GD65 Intel X79
Display Samsung 23" 120Hz 3D Gaming Monitor
OS Windows 7 64bit
Razer Diamondback

Basically every game i play, it crashes my screen goes black and my sound starts stuttering then it repeats itself. i can minimize to desktop and use that fine its only when i play games. the weirdest thing if i load up counter-strike source when i'm in game there's like a low level repeat of stuttering.

I have tried both the drivers out for my graphics card and the same thing happens on both. Also have tried re-installing my sound drivers.
GPU temps - min 35c - max 65c
CPU temps - min 38c - max 68c
