Hi guys, 

I have a pretty high-end workstation that I bought at a charity auction put on by a large company to get rid of their unneeded computers.  Because of this unique situation, when I got the computer it had been wiped and needed a new OS and everything.  After a few months of it doing great in high settings gaming, it started crashing while in GTA or Total War or even starbound.  Sometimes the application would crash while other times the computer would hard crash.  The screens would all freeze with audio continuing.  It would require a full restart to get it going again.  Nothing was overheating, as shown below in the pic I took while the computer was frozen.  Any help would be much appreciated. 

Specs:

Intel Core i7-5960X

32 gb Ram

NVIDIA GTX Titan Z

500 gb ssd

4 Tb hard disk

1500 watt pwr supply

It's been reported to be a hardware fault or something to with the GPU. Try reinstalling or downgrade GPU drivers. I recommend using GeForce Experience, as it gets the latest stable drivers. Make sure you are getting the right drivers for your Titan. It can be easy to confuse them.

drivers are updated, still cant even load into a game like GTA

I notice other errors and warnings in the Event viewer. Are those something to do with the crash or something else?

 

Try running Memtest86, to see if you have faulty RAM modulus. Also run a CHKDSK command from CMD and admin.

 

Try reinstalling Windows as a last resort. It could be a bad installation, I had that happen to myself before.

 

I've narrowed it down to a video driver problem.  but no matter what driver i roll back to, i cant get a game to run for more than fifteen mins
