Games Randomly Crashing

[Guest]

Ill be playing a game for about 10-20 minuets and then it suddenly crashes and windows tells me that it has crashed and i have to close the program. I have not updated any hardware recently. The games that i have noticed sgnificant crashing in are Hawken, Metro Last Light, Minecraft and GTA IV. I haven't played many other games to notice such bad crashes. Also im definately not running out of system memory or graphics memory.

 

My specs are 

MSI GTX 660 2GB

8GB of corsair Vengence

3570k at 4.2Ghz

It might be drivers, try updating all of them

Definately not drivers, everything is up to date. may try rolling back the graphics driver because i am using the beta one.

Is your OC fully stable? They may be caused by wrong processor calculations.

[Deddie]

Have you over-clocked your graphics-card?

[unidentical]

Check dat OC.

 

I found that if I clock my CPU to 4.4, even though it's fine stress tested in OCCT, when I get in to Far Cry after a half hour-ish it'll lock up

 

might not be 100% stable. maybe a little more voltage?

Like everyone else is saying I am going to throw my hat in with checking the OC

I dont want to increase my voltage because that can increase heat output cant it? Ill try backing my over clock off a little more. my graphics card is not overclocked any more that how it was when i got it from msi. I also changed my drivers back to the stable one from Nvidia and i still get the problem.

I've gone with adding a little more voltage. my voltage is now at 1.3v  im gonna run prime 95 and a few games to see if thats any better.
