ga-z77d3h
8gb @1600mhz
Gigabyte 7870

all the drivers are installed correctly, catalyste, ME etc all are up to date. removed and then re-installed just to make sure with driver sweeper.

now when the gpu/cpu becomes more stressed when in Call of Duty Bo 2, the pc just freezes and locks up, and only lets me task manager out. even though i can run cpu stress test for a good 1-2 hours and nothing happens. However, when in game the fps does not drop, unless heavy rpg's/granades thrown and then crash, it seems to stop responding when under load or sudden changes in stress. I have not tried to overclock any of my products or recently changed any software, eg virus's, drivers. I have also tried changing the ram from slot to slot and re-setting the CMOS, no change.

my Bios Ver is F18, and as i said everything is up to date so this definitely should not be happening, just with what happened with my first PSU has scared me and nothing has gone right with this build so far, and its really disappointing. also, i've read on the web that the ga-z77-d3h is a victim to these problems.
 
also try enabling x.m.p for your memory,if it supports it

set cpu voltage response to fast in the bios aswell

Had similar with Deus Ex apparently there are features in DX11 that need extra volts for some reason, try upping your voltage by a couple of notches and see if it helps.

Edit: GPU volts that is. mine went from 1.05 to 1.1 and no more crashes

uhmm could you tell me what the exact setting in the BIOS to do this? would be appreciated, wash your crashing similar to the one I am experiencing? I mean, the fps in game is decent, runs nice and smooth, so its not like I'm experiencing occasional spikes if you get me?
