MY Computer Won't Stop Crashing!

[Bloxs550]

So from the title you can tell that my computer won't stop crashing. It only happens when I play graphically intensive games like Far Cry 4 and Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor. Sometimes it just gives me an error message saying "Nvidia kernel mode driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered" and sometimes I get screens that look like this but some of the time it is just me browsing the internet. One time after my game crashed, every time I tried to do anything on Google Chrome it would freeze and give me the error message but if I tried to close and reopen the web browser it would freeze and sometimes even crash it. Now I am getting concerned that it is my graphics card and I don't want to buy a new one

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790k

Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC Mate

PSU: 80+ 600W Power Supply

GPU: GTX 970

Case: Azza

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master (I think)

 

This one just happened randomly and then gave me that error message (Sorry that it is sideways, it was taken my phone)

 

 

 

This one happened recently 

 

 

 

One time it blue screened (Sorry that it is sideways, I took it with my phone)

Any overclocks?
Temperatures?

80+ 600W doesn't tell us much.. what brand and model?

[flibberdipper]

Overclocks, temps, what is your PSU model, since 80+ 600 watt doesn't mean shit. I can tell you 80+ 300 watt, but you would never know that it's a Dell PSU from 2004 (I did some research, and it is actually barebones 80+. I love Dell).

I don't overclock and the temps are all stable

I don't know the brand because I had to buy a cyberpower because I didn't have time so which ever one they use

Maybe open case and see if there is sticker/branding on the PSU, if not then it is some kind of OEM.

I'd remove the graphics card and run with the onboard and see what happens.

I don't want to try that because it is under warranty and if anything gets messed up or if it turns out to be a broken graphics card I don't want to risk loosing my warranty

If this voids your warranty you bought your computer from a poor company.

[lovingGamer]

That looks serious!

What do you mean?

[SkulD]

What do you mean?

If it is under warranty, take it back to the seller, and use your warranty to get it fixed, you shouldn`t be struggling to have a working computer when you bought it from a company and is still covered.

 

I know it takes time, but you have the right to demand a fuctioning product.

Try rollback to previous stable driver.

First i reccomend you try booting safe mode and go to device and if it say some thing other than "PCI Device" your pretty good but if not.......Try re-installing your OS and if that don't work i'm sorry your GPU is gone (most likely roasted it self). If this HAS happend i reccomend you cover it under warranty.Then if this don't work well SHIT, roast your graphics cards yes this may acually work, it has a major chance of working (Did this on my 7870 and it worked!) if your graphics card died to heating itself.Ill have some videos link on how to do this lol.

This could be a faulty GPU, RAM or bios.

If you got it from cyberpower I would get it looked at under warranty

ok dude. I recently got across the same kind of error when building a system for a friend. I noticed that you are using an MSI board. Are you, by any chance, using Avexir Core series RAM?

If it's not that ram, fine (its a long shot)

 

Other than that:

-When did it start? Was it like that from the moment you started using the pc?

-Did you buy premade pc or did you build it yourself?

-You should not lose warranty at all. Each manufacturer gives you its own warranty. If you mess up the gpu, just contact the GPU manufacturer and they will get you going. Also, there is no way of them knowing what hapenned unless you physically break the card, wich... won't happen.

What PSU are you using? Do you have another PCI-E cable that you can plug to your gpu?

 

When on windows, use bluescreenviewer: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html#DownloadLinks

 

It will show the files involved in the crashes, being better for us to pinpoint a possible fault. If you could post print-screens or whatever suits you, that would be great
