Hi! Found this forum while looking up possible issues with my PC. So I recently (~3 months or so) built a new PC for gaming, and everything went.. pretty well, actually. This month (maybe around late December?) it began to either freeze or crash about 1-2 hours into any kind of game, but extremely intermittently. Now it's just flat out within 10-15 minutes of having a game open. I don't have a huge amount of expertise when it comes to troubleshooting and so I ask... what's going on?
On the advice of a friend I did a clean install of windows as we thought maybe it could be faulty drivers but that didn't work at all. I'm starting to wish this was a bluescreen problem as at least then I would have an error number or something to go by. Is this a heat issue? A hardware failure? I'm completely lost, and will be grateful for any help.
I'm running Windows 8.1, completely fresh install.
