PC crashes when playing CS GO or Warface

I've started playing CS GO and Warface, but when I start to play the game crashes my PC. I varies in time from 1 to 30 minutes of playtime. It seems pretty random. The crash consists of either a blackscreen (the PC won't respond, I get a weird sound in my headset, but the power in the PC stays on) or a bluescreen (I haven't been able to get a picture of it yet, but i will update the thread if i catch it later).

  • Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
  • Intel Core i5-4670k (stock clock speed)
  • Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H Socket-1150 (BIOS version F7)
  • Asus Nvidia Geforce 770 2GB  Direct CU II OC
  • Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR3 2x4GB 1866 MHz
  • Corsair AX 860i PSU (80 plus platinum)
  • Samsung 840 EVO SSD (non pro) 120GB (boot drive)
  • Samsung 840 EVO SSD (non pro) 240GB (for games)
  • Seagate Barracuda 1TB

I will yodate the thread if this happens to more games or if i get a picture of the bluescreen.

 

Edit 1: I haven't overclocked anything and the temperatures on my CPU are at their highest on 55 degrees Celsius (according to coretemp). I have installed watercooling on the CPU.

Try to use program WhoCrashed, it'll show you the cause of the crash.

It's very easy to use and for some programs it will give you a solution.

Something to do with your GPU by the looks of it.  Make sure your PSU has enough amperage to power your graphics card.

It is an 860w PSU, so I think it outputs enough. Haven't had this problem before the week-end. Went to a LAN party and it started crashing when I played these games for the first time.

Since it is a recent problem do you think that maybe updating to the latest nvidia 344.11 driver caused it?  That came out this weekend which would make sense.  Try rolling it back to the previous release.

I rolled back to the 340.52 driver, played CS:GO for 15 minutes and got a blackscreen. Good thought, but I don't think that was it :(

55 degrees celsius at maximum on the GPU and 45 on the CPU. Nothing that should make the system crash.

are you playing on fullscreen mode, or fullscreen windowed? Because fullscreen will crash your game in a lot of cases, so I run fullscreen windowed...

I am playing in fullscreen, and will try out windowed to see if that works. However I won't be able to try for another week, so please do follow this thread and see when i come with more updates on what has happened.

Thanks

What kind of power supply are you using? This may be your issue in the long run. I know someone suggested this already and you said it could handle the equipment you have but if it is failing then there lies your problem.

If you look in the original post, you will see that I have a Corsair AX860i power supply that is a year old.

I don't think that is the problem because it only happens in those two games.

1. Perhaps try running the game on the lowest setting possible and seeing if it crashes? 

2. Verified integrity of game cache? (Right click on game > local files)?
