Crashes at game launch

[Booyah1555]

My friend's computer keeps crashing when games are started (there isn't even time for it to over heat it just crashes) it doesn't do this with every game but most.

Back Story!: cpu pins bent on installation requiring a replacement mobo and cpu.  It was fine for a few months and now... this.  I've tried a little diagnosing but figured since im leaving in a minute i may as well post this and wait for responses.

Also forgot to mention current condition: cpu fan seems to be working as well as all other fans.  cable management is decent... though again i don't think that's the problem. 

Thank you!

Is it everygame or just certain ones in particular, if you dont know they get a few more games, just download 2 or 3 of the free games on steam to test it out.

What is his specs? Also what PSU make and model is he using... this sounds like a power issue

oh never mind turns out all the games crash but it takes more time for some games so like minecraft for example take a bit whereas battlefield is pretty much instant

hadn't thought of that.  specs are: psu- corsair cx series 600 watt.  mobo: i think it's the asrock 970 extreme3 r2.0. gpu: saphire amd r9 270x.  and cpu i think is the amd ... one sec i think i figured this out... he has tons of stuff plugged into one powerstrip

Is he overclocked in anyway? I would guess without knowing more that its a lack of power. When you start a game your GPU clocks up and pulls most of its current while loading things. So the fact it takes longer sometimes than others could just be down to the power draw the GPU needs.

anyways loading up bf4 right now to test

i think by now it normally crashes

[das affe]

maybe the cpu or gpu doesn't have enough voltage from factory. try to give it more and see if it works
