Hey guys, ive been having an ongoing problem with my PC crashing for around 7 months. Its been hard to replicate it and it can disappear for long periods at a time but its come back again recently.
Before it came about again recently I didn't know what was causing it and figured it was the new GTX 970 that I put in as I didn't have the problem beforehand. It seems now however that the problem is the driver crashing. It stalls the whole pc, displays a message of 'no signal detected' on my monitor and then sits there as if fully crashed. It does however respond again after a good minute or so.
My partner was playing the sims 4 earlier and it happened continuously through there. She basically managed about 10 mins of gameplay before it started crashing and it would crash again almost immediately after the pc responded and the driver booted up again.
I closed most of my stuff and as of posting this I have origin, corsair gaming headset, xonar d2x audio centre, razer synapse, logitech g-series key profiler, logitech LCD manager, NVIDIA geforce experience, PSI secunia, CCleaner and MS Security Essentials running on the taskbar. The windows installation (Windows 7 64bit) is fairly fresh and there hasn't been anything downloaded other than those mentioned programs, steam and uplay and whatever games in their respective libraries.
What could be causing this fail and how can I go about fixing it? Trying to use the action centre results in a message stating that I can't access it at the time and to try again later, this has been the case for a few days so its unlikley to be a MS problem.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
