Has anyone heard of fallout 4 causing an entire system to crash?

[JimmyRJump]

Hmmm... you SAY the CPU had 70°C... By what program?

Is it the combined CPU-temp? Or the core-temp of the single cores?

 

When i ask my system for the combined, it says... oh no worries, its around 40°C on tops. Thats fine.

If i ask for specific data, it shows, 1 or 2 cores already reached 60°C or 70°C.

 

So, never trust a combined score for temperature.

The 70°C was for the GPU, not CPU. 70°C for a GPU when gaming is quite usual.

 

@ lansat:

 

The buzzing, is it some sort of static in your speakers or what? If it's the latter, maybe update audio drivers (wheh using a separate audio card). Audio drivers have been known to crash games when not entirely compatible...

My game will freeze my entire computer if I use music mods, or listen to the vanilla music tracks of the game. I get a jarring sound like a locked-up audio noise, and frozen, unresponsive PC. It also happens when using the CK when modding a particularly large cell while using any other applications. It's happened several times.

It's a sound from the speakers/headset, i don't have a separate audio card, just using onboard audio but i'll see if there's an update. The only only new thing i found out is on a whim i tried out a DPC latency monitor and during the the lag spikes the latency will also skyrocket as well, going up to 100,000 μs. I haven't figured out what driver is causing it though.

I need to know a few things. What CPU are you running, Intel or AMD? What model, i7, FX 8350 or something like that? Are you running at least 4 gig of memory, if not 8 or more? What is your graphics card, ATI/AMD or Nvidia? What is your power supply wattage? Have you cleaned the inside of your case in a while? Have you stuck with the stock cpu heat sink and fan, or did you upgrade it? How about making sure all your connections are solid for all your hard drives, graphics card, etc.? Are you cables all good? I actually had BSOD because of a sata cable going bad. Overheating wouldn't throw up a BSOD, it would shut down without it. A BSOD means something is wrong, and you need to fix it.

How do you figure out the Sata cable was going bad? Also yep, just in the process of figuring what to fix.
