My specs:
* Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
* Intel i5 760 @ 2.8GHz
* 8.00 GB RAM (2x4 Crucial Ballistix)
* GTX 470
* Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 Motherboard
* Samsung EVO SSD 250GB MZ-7TE250BW
* Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W
I've had this problem for a couple of days now, and here's what I've noticed:
1. When I run a full-screen game (CS:GO, LoL) the computer crashes after running for a couple of minutes, sometimes immediately.
2. When I try to move a large amount of files from my external storage drive to my internal storage drive (not my main SSD), the computer crashes after about a minute. I had the taskbar performance tab open during this, and the CPU is barely put under stress, while the RAM steadily increased little by little until it crashed (around the 1.8gb mark, I have 8gb total).
3. If I'm watching a 1080p stream on twitch, or watching a high quality video file located in my storage drive, it runs completely fine. But if I run multiple tabs of 1080p streams, it will probably crash.
4. It does not seem to be an overheating problem. My GPU rests at around 60 degrees Celsius, my CPU rests at around 40 degress Celcius. I had recently cleaned out my tower using compressed air.
5. Considering #2 (a process that requires little graphics power), it does not seem to be a GPU problem.
6. I ran the Intel CPU test, as well as MemTest86, and no errors were found.
7. My suspicions are that its a RAM problem, but perhaps the experts have a different idea on what might be the problem.
8. I have recently upgraded my main drive to an SSD, but considering #2 (a process that involved two different drives that are not the main drive) it's unlikely the SSD's fault, though I could be wrong.
Thank you very much for reading, and I hope to nail what exactly the problem is so that a solution can be found!
