Hello,
My game just seems to crash, usually at the start , screen goes black , then I hear some buzzing in my headphones and finally , computer resets or I have to reset it. (Not in that particular order, sometimes it doesn't buzz, just black screen and everything frozen, or colored stripes on the screen followed by a freeze) . Anyone knows what could be causing this ? Computer specs : intel core i3 540 , 4 GB DD3 1333 MHz , radeon hd 5750 1 GB graphics . Latest video drivers are installed . It also happens in Starcraft 2 and some other games.
The first time I've got that error there was an error message on the screen saying : Not optimum mode selected, recommended mode is 1280x1024 @ 60 hz. After that I've set my settings to that resolution and screen refresh rate (My monitor is samsung sync master 710n) but the crashes still occur.
I've tried running memtest, it found no errors, computer was scanned for viruses & malware, nothing found, I've tried using the driver sweeper and completely reinstalling the drivers, that didn't help either, video card and CPU temperatures are fine. Please help me find a solution for my problem.
Thanks

Sounds like a heat problem. What are temperatures now and at time of crash?
-
They never go higher than 45 degrees celsius
-
And your power supply rating, brand and age?
-
I believe its 450W MS industrial, age is about 7 months.

Hm, that is a bit on the low side for such a high-end machine. I'd test the machine with a 600W PSU.

So, yesterday I played 3 lol games in a row with no crashes, later that day I went to play again, it crashed, I rebooted my pc, rejoined the game, it crashed again.
You think that more powerfull PSU would solve the problem?

I think you need to make sure that it isn't the solution to your problem. Because if it is, you're burning up your hardware right now.

You should check your hardware,because i am sure its heating problem.
