COMPUTER CRASHING HELP

[ChipotleBurger]

Nothing shows up for the error when it crashes, i've installed more ram and have decently high end components.

Heres my specs

Graphics Card - Asus GTX 970 (btw is it bad that it droops down a little bit)

Motherboard - Asus Z97

Ram - Corsair 4gb (2 sticks) 4gb (2 sticks) of somthing

Powersupply - XFX 550 watt

Hard drive - WD Blue 1tb

Processor - i7 4790k

 

btw the crashes happen when i run lots of programs at once

like streaming or lots of chrome tabs, but sometimes it just crashes for no reason

Try updating your graphics driver. If its just a black screen an unrecoverable graphics crash is likely the case.

 

 

Also prop up ya damb video card!!

im thinking ram - try to do an experiment - open task manager then open the exact tabs and apps you had open before the crash - if im right, your ram should come close to 100 percent usage - or, the 2 other sticks of something aren't matching ram and you might only have 4gb instead of 6 or 8 or 12 gb

... describe the error and what happens before as detailed as you can - any louder noises from fans you hear? etc

sound driver conflict.

disable or uninstall unused drivers.

 

give better description of ram. if you just upgraded you must know what you installed.

If you wanted to be sure that the problem has anything to do with the software side of things, then you would have to boot it off something else (like Linux for example), and then see if the problem repeats itself. If it does, then it makes it a hardware problem that you have to diagnose and fix.

 

What exactly happens when it crashes? Any blue screen? Does input into the monitor stop? Can you run your screen off your motherboard video outputs and see if the same thing happens?

uninstall the sound drivers you're not using. ( device manager is helpful here )
