Red Screen Of Death and general system crashes
Hello lovely people,
So I recently completed building my first computer to play Warhammer Total War, these are the specifications for the build:
Case: CiT Vanquish Gaming Toolless Case with USB3 Port, Side Window, Card Reader and 2 x 12CM Green Led Fans
Power Supply: Corsair CP-9020015-UK Builder Series CX750 ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply Unit, 750 W
Motherboard: Z97-K
Processor: Intel Core i5 4690K @ 4.20GHz
CPU fan: Alpenföhn Brocken ECO CPU Cooler - 120 mm
RAM: It originally came with 8GB of Hyper X Ram but I bought another 16GB of RAM and have mounted it in to the board as well
Graphics Card: MSI AMD R9 380 Gaming Graphics Card
Memory: Kingston Technology 480GB Solid State Drive
OS: Windows 10
So having whipped all of this together I've been experiencing a couple of problems. Firstly when I'm in the easy tuning wizard of my BIOS and try to set the BIOS to gaming or overclock it in anyway it will show Whea uncorrectable error when it tries to load up and crash. I can only get the system to boot by putting it down to normal. Everything will then be ok until I try and game with the thing. The computer can load Warhammer Total War and sometimes I'll be able to play for an hour or 2 (including battles) but it will then tend to freeze or end up at the dreaded Red Screen Of Death. The unit sizes are also a fourth smaller than they are meant to be even though I picked the suggested ultra graphics setting in the game set up. The computer will also just crash sometimes even when I'm just on the homescreen
Here is the who crashed crash report I received from who crashed:
