Hi guys, I built my pc about 1 month ago, and all of a sudden itr keeps crashing while im playing League Of Legends. It first starting happeneing and i noticed before it only happened with a Twitch Stream running in the background. Now it happens every other game, while im playing even with nothing running in the background. When it crashes i get either a black or green or orange or brown screen, and in order to get my pc back i have to ALT + CTRL + DEL, and use Task manager.All temps for everything seem to be fine, GPU at 70Degrees, CPU at 45Degrees, Mobo at 35Degrees. These are the temps when it crashes. I also used to get Kernel Drive issues before, but all of a sudden they message never pops up and it just crashes. I have reinstalled the Drivers multple times, using Custom install and tried reinstalling Chrome and League of Legends.

 

Specs are: i7 4790K CPU, MSi Z97 Gaming 3 Mobo, 4GB EVGA 980 FTW ACX2.0 GPU, 16GB Vengpro DDR3 2133Mhz RAM, Asus Xonar Xense SoundCard, Corsair AX860i PSU, Corsair H100i CPU Cooler.

 

Any advice would be great, and if i have left anything out let me know and ill give you more information.

 

I just checked the Event Logger and around the time it Crashed i have Event ID 4101.

 

Thanks in advance :)

Any sort of overclock on the gpu?

 

sounds like a graphical problem, but since the screen turns random colors, it might be other wise. Normally with a gpu driver crash the game freezes/ goes into windows mode, and windows gives a little popup. Try running vsync to limit the fps/ gpu load and see if it runs longer without crashing...

I will try running V-Sync :)#

 

I just checked the Even Logger and around the time it Crashed i have Event ID 4101.

Run memtest86+ for a few passes and see how things turn out, there could be an issue.

You can also try running DriverCleaner and doing a fresh install of the nVidia drivers as that's what event 4101 is indicating.

It is also possible you have a PSU issue, but that would probably be a little more blue screen and a lot less funky colours.

Sorry for the late reply, been preparing for my Uni exams.

 

It happened a few times in BF4 and 3, but it mainly happens in League of Legends.

 

@ApolloX75 I have used a Driver cleaner and installed the nVidia drivers again, but havnt had time to play since doing it, but when i do ill let you guys know.

 

I will try MemTest. PSU may be the problem but i am using it from my Older PC, which didnt have these problems :(, other than Kernel Driver issues.

Ok guys i have done some more testing. I used Heaven Benchmark 4.0, ran it at maz settings for 1hour and had no problems at all. But still when i play League of Legends, or any of the Battlefields my computer crashes. I have noticed it happens once the system gets hotter, still within normal temps of around 65-75Degrees on the GPU and around 50Degrees on the CPU.

 

Do you guys think a fresh install of windows may do the trick ?
