Computer freezing while playing games?

[borko3fkovixac]

I've recently upgraded my graphics card.
I have seen a lot of posts about this problem and everyone is saying that is the overheating problem. But its not. My temps are on 30C idle, and 55-60C on max load.

When my computer freezes, its unresponsive to mouse or keyboard, and audio is repetitive, sounds kind of like bees buzzing or drilling, so i have to button reset.

It happened so far in Goat Simulator, Hitman Absolution, Bulletstorm, Alice Madness Returns, and it freezes fastest in Crysis 3 - time before freezing varies, it can happen in 5 mins or 2hrs, sometimes even doesn't but in 95% cases it does, which is really annoying.
It doesn't happen in Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 1 & 2, DmC Devil May Cry, and (surprisingly) in Battlefield 3 and Tomb Raider, even when I max the graphics out.
I don't own any other games so I could only check for this.
I've monitored it in Crysis 3 via MSI Afterburner and there was time when my gpu load was at 100% for few minutes and it was fine, and later it dropped to around 30% and it was still fine, and when it froze it was at 66%(if that info means something).

Drivers are up to date and no dust in case.

Your computer is so old.....

do you have an older gpu you can put in?  

Is the card seated properly?

Sufficient power?

correct drivers installed?

try running a benchmark like heaven and see if it crashes.

If it crashes then take the gpu out and run on the discreet graphics.  if it doesn't crash then  the gpu was the problem.

What do you mean by discreet graphics?

most Intel cpu's have on board graphics.  They have a crappy gpu built into the cpu.

the motherboard you listed has a vga port on the i/o.  Remove the gpu and plug in the monitor to the motherboard vga port.

Then re run the test.  if it still crashes the problem is not the gpu

I had the same problem, spent days re-installing drivers over and over again, I ended up re-installing Windows from scratch. Turns out my 680 was the problem, claimed it under warranty and got it replaced.

 

Have you tried re-installing the drivers yet? And did you uninstall the old drivers correctly?

I don't have integrated graphics.. MoBo has a slot(or whatever its called) on the back that looks like vga, but its not, they both are "male" plugs, from monitor and motherboard, and on the motherboard there are 2 rows of pins and on the monitor there are 3 rows..

Yes i've tried so many drivers and nothing ever seemed to work, switched to a better PSU, not even that. I'll try reinstalling the windows since its on my 160GB HDD which has 16% health, but i didnt have problems with my old gpu's, so i doubt that will fix anything..
