PC crashing

kaotikuk · 6 Dec 2013 at 22:57

hey guys, all of a sudden today my pc has started to freeze up. Both times its happened in a dota 2 game, screen will freeze for a sec, unfreeze, then completely freeze up. i have to then turn the pc off. Earlier when i did that i couldnt boot windows because bootmgr was missing.. so i did a windows repair off the cd and that fixed that issue but the crashing is still happening.

Any ideas?

I5 2500k 4.5ghz
8gb ram
850w xfx psu
sapphire 7950
asus p8z68-vgen 3 motherboard

cheers

Ye ive got the power slider to 20%, i havent updated the firmware so il give that a go. Dunno ive had the pc for over a year with no problems at all so ive never really touched anything apart from updating my graphics card drivers and a slight overclock on it :/

can i ask thought would the ssd be causing it even if dota is running on the normal HDD and not the ssd? i guess it would but i dunno. I just dont understand how its suddenly started to happen now
