System still crashing.

[Kiyuubi]

Whenever I play Dying Light, or run OCCT, my system crashes shortly thereafter.  I recently upgraded, as in today, from a 430W PSU to a 600W one; the EVGA 600B. 

 

Sadly I am still crashing.  While I was waiting for this to ship to me I used my iGPU, and I was able to play the game just fine, albeit at horrible settings.  I am about to do a clean install, because I just want to rule out software one last time.  

 

I am starting to think I will need to get a new GPU. Does anyone have any other ideas?

I don't know what your situation was before, have you checked to make sure your GC driver is up to date? Or have you tried a clean install of your GC driver?

Yes, all of my drivers are up to date.  I did a fresh install about 4-5 days ago.

Have you updated your BIOS recently? Some info on what kind of crash it is would help. BSOD? And if so supply the error code.

That was my next suggestion. Check to make sure that your BIOS is up to date. Have you tried clearing your CMOS?

[Kiyuubi]

My BIOS is up to date. There are no errors to give; it just freezes. Look at my profile for my old thread.

Are you overclocked, if so try resetting to stock to rule out unstable OC

 

Do you ever get artifacts on your screen?

 

Check your temps, maybe your hitting TJ Max

[Kiyuubi]

No OC. I only experienced artifacts on the part where you choose teams on Chivalry. Aside from that, nowhere else.

Wait so your PC crashes when you use a gpu but not when you use an igpu?

Correct, but only when I play video games or some GPU stress test.

My friend had this problem with a gtx 295. In the end he upgraded to a hd7850 and his PC has run perfectly since. What gpu do you have and is it under warranty?

Like my profile says, the R9 270 (XFX DD).  I believe XFX offers a lifetime warranty.

[ErectedPanda]

I would recommend getting a new/replacement graphics card and in the meantime OC the 7850k graphics.

Sounds like a temp issue download a tool like msi afterburner and check the temps.

[Kiyuubi]

It isn't a temperature issue. The GPU runs around 65 when playing games.

I even took apart the GPU and even replaced the thermal paste.

I just used OCCT, and it was working until 28 minutes.
