So I've just bought Grand Theft Auto 4 and am pleasantly surprised by it's performance. However after 20mins of play, I have twice now had a complete system crash. Screen goes wappy, odd noise from speakers, quick BSOD screen, and then a restart.
It was also doing this recently occasionally whilst encoding MP4's via Handbrake. I therefore conclude that it can't be my video card, and must be either:
My CPU overclock is too high - but always fine other than this, bench tested when first overclocked for 24 hours (and since) without error, and core temps never exceed 75 absolute MAX.
My PSU is not powerful enough - but is Coolermaster M620, peak power of 700w, continuous of 620w. Other than CPU, GPU, 2 HDDs, optical drive, and 4 fans, that's it.
Any thoughts? Was really starting to get into GTA4
