Games Keep crashing

[Wano97]

Whenever I open certain games, it crashes after the loading screen (so when I actually enter the game). This occured to: The sims and Guild wars 2. I also had random crashes on Far Cry 3... Any idea what this might be? I have my drivers updated!

Do you have a stable clock? What error does it show? Artifacting?

latest direct x?

It doesn't show any error, I can still hear the sound but I just get a black screen, I don't know if I'm still able to control it during the black screen though. My overclock is stable, I've already tested it with Heaven benchmark and I've been mining with it. It doesn't happen during other games though.

Yeah I guess so

[needmorewood]

can we get some specs including the overclocks

and just because it mines doesnt mean it can game.

You've been mining with an nvidia card? ._.

Yeah I'm getting about 500khash/s, but that's not the point

Gigabyte gtx780 windforce, Base clock is 1020mhz, boost clock is 1180mhz. +400 mem clock offset, +35mv

 

I tested it with a benchmark

is your cpu overclocked?   some games really don't like overclocked cpu's

 

just because a oc is stable in one thing does not make it in another.  i would under-clock both your cpu and gpu and see if they still crash.

No my CPU is still stock, and okay I'll remove the clock offsets etc and try again

 

edit: So I tried it, and everything worked fine, but is my OC too high? or why is it doing this

[Captain3xtreme]

Benchmarks are absolutely horrible for testing GPU overclocks, the only way to really make sure it is stable is to play games on it.

what GPU are you running, I'm having the same problems with my brand new Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X OC...
