Re: game crashes for no reason

Updating my BIOS fixed random crashes and freezes and restarts.

I've got a fairly new mobo, but found that two new versions of BIOS was available - both of them promised "increased system stability" - so I flashed my BIOS with the latest update.

Never had a crash since (two days now) - that is when playing on High.

Tried Ultra (recommended nvidia-settings) but could only play for a "good while" before freezeing (with and without ambient occlusion).

(If any of you want to try this - remember the USB flash needs to be formatted in FAT32)

<edit> two typos

Had this issue also with Far Cry 4, checked CPU and GPU % usage, CPU and GPU temp and couldn't find a reason for crashing... until I've lowered or disabled post processing options. Works for me now without any crashes on Ultra details. Have no idea why this happens really
