Random Freezing and Restarts

daniel101191 · 25 Mar 2013 at 12:42

Hi, so I built my bro a new PC, and everything is working dandy, except When he plays games i.e the new Tomb Raider, after about 45 mins/1 hour or so it will blue screen and restart, and there is no obvious reason for this... I have checked temps after restart, and they are all well within the safe zone.

Any Ideas? Im doing a fresh install to see if that cures it, the only non ordinary thing is he has 3 monitor eye finity setup, and all the monitors are VGA, so have a converter on each one.

Thanks in Advanced. Dan

What is the blue screen message your getting. Are you over clocked?

you could try with 1.55v dram voltage and set the power control slider to 20% in ccc/overdrive settings,it doesn't add any voltage it just raises the thermal limits,my 7850 needs it set to 10%
