Hey I'm back. After a few days running new tests im still having the same PC shut downs. I tried using the pc command to run cutscenes at 60 frames per second and it actually worked a lot better with that. After a while when I stated a new cutscene the PC crashed again. At this point I'm ready to try anything so I uninstalled Windows 8.1 and installed Windows 7 Ultimate but same thing again. PC shuts down during cutscenes. At the very moment I'm writing this reply I see theres another driver available for my GTX 970. May God pray that this is the solution I need. Any tips? Really needing help here...
Have you checked that your system is not overheating, or that your power supply has enough amps and/or watts to run all of your hardware?
No overheating and from what I've researched my power supply is more than enough for my computer:
- GeForce GTX970 with the most recent drivers
- AMD FX 8320 3.5Ghz
- Motherboard Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0
- Kingston 3K SSD HyperX 240GB
- Nox NX 650W 140mm
- Kingston HyperX Predator DDR3-1866Mhz 2x4GB
What to do!
Have you tried a stress test of your system?? Something like Furmark, bench test and stress test?? http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/
It will basically stress your video card out to the max and you can watch temps and see what if anything is happening. Also have you ran a test on your RAM??
So far I've only stressed my head, but I'll stress test my sistem right now. Feedback very soon
It may not be related at all, but I burned 2 graphic cards on this game since early january. Not specialy during cutscenes, though.
So I stress test the hell out of my computer. Results:
FurMark: (Tested for 20 minutes)
Max: 68ºCPrime95 + Core Temp (for at least 40 minutes):
All 8 cores at 100% max temperature was 50ºC
Conclusion:
No shut downs and no issues at all. What does this tell me? That I have absolutely no idea what's going on with Dragon Age Inquisition.
Honestely I have the feeling that the game somehow triggers a safe mode on the computer that makes it shut down. I don't know, does anyone have any brilliant ideas? I talked with EA Tech guys but they were completely lost about this.
