All games crashing my PC (RSOD/ Freeze)... no idea what's wrong
Hey Peoples,
thanks for all your helpfull repliess!Especially the hints that it might be GPU related - it was indeed! I've been monitoring the GPU using GPU-Z earlier on already but nothing really exceptional was to be seen except from the fact that the cores mostly didn't exceed 40-50% load - even in games. Having tried all kinds of drivers, reinstalling windows and what not I finally got around to exchange some parts with a friends PC and I also got my hands back on my old 660Ti. So after switching the cards back and forth I noticed that the Nvidia card did not cause any issues whatsoever while the 7990 caused issues even in my friends PC and my old rig which was sitting at my father's place last semester. Therefore it needs to be some issue related to the graphics card. No idea what but it needs to be something.
I also reinstalled BF4 yesterday after reinstalling windows and the whole PC would always freeze in the initial loading screen which mimics the issues I had in Garden Warfare. The issues were immediately gone with the 660Ti as well and surprisingly the performance with the 660Ti is very close to what I was getting with the 7990 which I believe also clearly signals that there was something severly wrong with this thing.
What I did then was trying to get stuff sorted out with the ASUS customer support. Horrible experience. They are not to reach via phone cause nobody is ever available and for email support u need to fill in all kinds of odd stuff which creates a stupid barrier. After a while I found a site which said that apparently ASUS doesn't handly graphics card warranty issues on their own but that one should contact the dealer. Therefore I contacted Amazon which has a very very very customer friendly support indeed and within a few hours they replied and told me to send the card in to them and they will refund it.
Probably gonna go with a 780 or 780Ti now when I got the money back... ^^
Thanks again for the really helpfull support guys really appreciate it!
