Need help ! My PC keeps crashing/Freezing/bs while Gaming!

[Kevin924]

Hi There!

 

My PC is constantly Crashing or Freezing while Gaming and I have no idea whats causing it.. 

It mostly happens on Graphic intense games (NFS 2k15 it crashes every 5 to 10 min) and nearly newer on games like LoL and games like that.

At first i thought my GC (Gainward GTX570) was the problem, it served me well a couple years but it couldn't keep up anymore with newer games so i changed it to an Asus GTX960 4GB but it doesn't fixed the crashes..

 

My system specs are:

 

Mobo: Asus P8P67

Ram: Corsair 2x 4GB 1600Mhz

CPU: I7 2600K

GPU: GTX570 1.2GB (old)  GTX960 4GB (new)

PSU: 650W (dont remember Manufacturer) 

CPU Cooling: Freezer 13 something like that really cheap air cooling

Storage: Samsung 830 SSD 128gb + 500GB HDD

 

Couples years ago i did a Mobo bios update it did the update but since then my pc doesn't turn off anymore everything turn off screen keybord etc.. but my pc fans and the light in my pc keeps on for ever i have to shut it down by long press of the power button. i dont know if i wreaked my Mobo and the freezes are caused by this ????

 

i also did a Ram Test couples weeks ago (build in in windows) and it told me that everything was okay.

 

Someone has an idea what causes the problem..?

Try resetting the CMOS on your motherboard. You can do this by completely disconnecting your PC from the power outlet and then removing the battery from your motherboard for about 10-20 minutes and letting it completely drain (you might need to use a flat head screw drive or some other tool to push the battery cap down). I'd strongly recommend (if it's old) getting a new battery but you can use the old one in the motherboard once it's drained. After you have reset the CMOS you should then download the newest motherboard update.

Awesome, you might still get the crashes when you play video games, sounds like it's a seperate issue. Are all of your drivers up to date?
