Computer crashes when gaming

[BadBlack]

HEllo guys this issue is kind of new and i have had my computer for around almost 2 years, so here is the problem; when i am playing a gmae (doesn´t matter which one) it runs for about 5 min and then the audio gets stuck like in a track (for example if someone was saying "long" it would get stuck like "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo") and at the same time my monitor goes black and prints the brand (acer) and then i hear my system fans reving up as if it had booted up or something but it doesn't either reboot or turn off i need to turn it off "manualy".
Here are my system specs:
MBO: M5A97 EVO

CPU: FX 6100 (stock)

GPU: ASUS HD 7770 (stock)

PSU: coolermaster extreme power plus 500W

RAM: 8 gb Kingston hyperx 1600mhz

cooler: stock

HDD: WD blue 600gb

OS: Windows 7 64 bit

How hot does the CPU/GPU get?

[Guest]

memtest it now

[BadBlack]

How hot does the CPU/GPU get?

When i get to boot my computer up more or less:

CPU: 32°C (according to coretemp)

GPU: 36°C (according to GPU tweak)

[BadBlack]

memtest it now

Sorry but what is a memtest?

What about at load?

It is a memory test to check if it is functioning correctly.

Oh i have check the memory already.

And at load i couldn't be honest because it is when it crashes but it boots quite fast so just add around 15°C give or take

[BadBlack]

Also I downloaded the latest catalyst drivers today and haven't try it but i am kind of scared that it will continue to happen and i don't know how good it is to do that.

Probably not that little of a difference use something like Prime 95 and Furmark then see what the temps get to. Also is your PC dusty?

Nope, cleaned around 3 days ago, ok i will do the stress test.

[BadBlack]

ok CPU max temp (because it wasn't climbing anymore) is 51° C according to coretemp. And now i am running furmark.

What Bios number do you have?

Well at furmark is when it crashed it got up to 70 C and did the same thing but now the gpu fan reved up to like 100 a recon but it stayed at 70 for like 5 min

What Bios number do you have?

What is the bios number and where can i see it?

[Gecko]

Go in to bios by pressing F2 or Del when you turn on your computer and go to  tools and it shold say bios rev bios 1207 or something like that!

Not a BIOS issue. He hasn't recently updated his BIOS and his computer has been stable for 2 years, so if it was a BIOS issue his computer would have had these issues 2 years ago. Your BIOS doesn't suddenly "go bad". Most issues are driver/settings related or failing/failed component related. Very rarely is the BIOS or the settings contained within an issue. Had he recently updated his BIOS or made major changes I would say it could be a BIOS issue, but he hasn't.

I know you are trying to help, and I'm not trying to shit on you or anything. It is just that people throw around BIOS/CMOS like it's a fix all//relevant to every single problem that people post.

This sounds like a GPU issue @BadBlack. Do you have onboard video on that motherboard? If so remove your GPU and run the computer off of onboard video. Try to play a really low detail game and see if you can get the machine to dump on you. If it stays stable then it's the GPU, if it crashes then it is something else.

Ok, i will try the onboard video thing, but if it is the GPU is there anything that could be done? Like applying the warranty or something like that?

No. it doesn't have onboard video, maybe what i am thinking it could be is that the GPU is shutting the whole computer down in order to protect himself and maybe just maybe the max temp is like below it should be, do any of you guys know where i can edit that?

If the MAX temp is below what it should be that is a good thing. Your computer will not shut down if your temps are lower than normal (unless you get into really low negative temperatures by using liquid nitrogen or dry ice to cool the machine).

Oh no maybe i didn't say what i meant, like this GPU'S are graded to perform up to 100° but maybe the limit got down to 70° for some reason (like if now 100° = 70°)

Yes it could be a bios problem, its is relevent when you computer is having problem is on, they say there is no point in doing a bios update unless you are having any stablty problems and he is now so dont dicredit what i have said.

 

But what he could also do is use a friends Graphics card or get a cheap $30 Graphics card and test it!

Ok i updated my bios it used to be version 0904 and now is 1604 i am gonna run furmark again to see what happens and let you guys know if it helped or stayed the same.

ok great keep us posted!

[BadBlack]

ok great keep us posted!

Ok it defentivly improved!! Not marking your answered as solved until I have tested in games, i ran furmark for 15 min and it didn't crash at all and I even gained 5 FPS I will post the results of the gaming test and if it works your answer will be marked as solved; thanks a lot means a lot to me!
