Problem:
When playing games such as GTA V and BF1 in 4k, the game freezes within 10-20 minutes of playtime, but the sound continues for a while. However, I am unable to move the character, and pressing buttons will yield no responses. The game then crashes after 3-5 minutes later.
System Specs:
Operating System: Windows 10 64 bit
CPU: i5 6600K, OC to 4.7 GHz at 1.320V
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1070, OC to +50 MHz core clock, +125 MHz memory clock.
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 3
RAM: Kingston HyperX 16 GB
PSU: EVGA Supernova 650W
BIOS version: F21
Software Running: MSI Afterburner, Steam, Origin, Realtek Audio
Things I have tried:
Verifying Integrity of the games
DDU of the Nvidia Drivers and Reinstalling the Latest
Memtest64 (10 passes with no errors)
OC should be stable, ran AIDA64 2 years ago for 1 whole day without error. Ran Heaven Benchmark 2 years ago for a whole day too.
Temporary Solution:
I have found the games doesn't freeze/crash when I run them at 1440p windowless border. But in BF1 this makes the image very blurry indeed.
