I solved the problem. By the Nine I solved it! I got Skyrim a while ago and for a long time it worked fine, and then for no reason the breakdowns started (I haven't installed any new mods, patches nor have I changed any settings). The graphic cards seems to shut down, screen goes black and reports no input data, sound starts to glitch and the whole PC dies with the only option leaving hard reset. First I thought that it was the graphic card malfunction but with a bit of googling I found this forum topic and saw that many others had the same problem and that it is probably caused by the incompatibility with the Raden graphic cards. I gave up on Skyrim til a patch that fixes the issue comes out and got Saint's Row The Third. But soon I experienced the same problem. Graphic card shuts down few hours after playing, every time. This time I was sure that my graphic card was faulty and I was almost ready to take it to the shop, but in the meantime I asked around on forums about a possible solution and someone suggested increasing the graphic card fan speed to 100% via MSI Afterburner program. I tried it... and IT WORKED!!! Both Skyrim and Saint's Row now work perfectly, even on the highest settings! The fan is a lot nosier of course, and I think that the case is heating up more but both the core and the GPU temperatures are fine and well within normal. So this is a possible solution, I'd advise you to try it and see if it works for you too. But the question is.. what was the problem in the first place??
