I dont know man... I mean, is a new pc and just happen with PoE (i play things like dota, L4D, Portal, Sniper Elite) So i dont know what is the problem :/
Lazze mentioned about an over heating graphic card so i also checked my hardware while running PoE

cpu & gpu were running fine at around 50-60°c constantly.
Same here, normal temperature in my PC.
im trying changing the D9Ex for D9, i hope it work :)

Hey!

As you can see, i can play around 1 hour until this starts to happen, then a couple minutes late, just crashes.

It's your i7 6700 skylake processor.

I've had now two skylake CPUs, both 6700k, that have this Hard Lock issue. It's a pain to get warranty replacement but you should do it.

When your OS doesn't crash with a blue screen, but completely freezes without restarting, it's your CPU that locks up.

Only reliable way to test it, is by running AIDA64 stress test for at least 3 hours. I couldn't get mine to crash with Prime95 and 3DMark running at the same time. And only one other game caused hard locking.

Spoiler
Workarounds include completely disabling C-state in your uefi bios settings and/or setting your vcore voltage manually. Only change these if your default settings are not 100% stable. Lots of info on Intel forums about the hard locking.


Other issues in this thread are NOT related.
