Some games keep shutting down on me why?

[squigy7]

I keep having issues with some games. I can log in fine and play for a few seconds and then the game stop working and windows shuts it down. I have no problem playing Blizzard games and my firewalls are off and I have no anti virus running and all my hardware has the lastest drivers. Any thoughts?

How are your temps? Some games make your system work harder than others.

My fans are on full blast and my MB and CPU are at 30c idle my CPU has an H100 and the GPU has been stress tested up to 83c stable and it's only reaching 69c with CS GO. I tried both high and med game settings same thing just stops working. iMac works fine playing CS Go not issues at all. Stress tested my GPU again and it works fine.

I would run Memtest86+ as your current memory settings just to take out memory failure as a factor. Some games are rather hard on ram.

Do you get any BSOD errors when the games stop or does it just drop to desk top???

I have seen a couple different errors actually, the blue screen, some fatal errors, drop to desk top, my memory has the xmp profile set and I haven't touched the memory settings at all besides that. Why would my memory be an issues on some games an not others?

If you know the number of the Blue screens it may give us an indication of your problem.

If the memory is faulty it may only be one certain address on the memory that problematic and that address only gets used by certain games / software.

Okay I have never run the memtest86 but I have it downloaded on my usb drive however I can't get my bios to recognize the F drive for it yet when I log into windows the F drive shows up. How do I get it to recognize the usb drive when I boot up if I can't select it from my BIOS?

Place the USB drive in one of the USB 2.0 ports. Go into bios and at the bottom of the boot devices screen it will list the devices you can boot from it should be listed there. Just select it and the system will boot from it.

I would also check XMP is setting the correct voltage for that RAM as in some cases this does not happen.

I checked the voltage with XMP and it's shows 1.5v.
