I just got my new computer, it still has warranty.
My computer runs great. Any normal function it works well. However, when I get into a graphic intensive game it will crash. On a really odd note, when I come back from the crash my wireless adapter doesn't work again until I reinstall it. I suspect it to be either my PSU or GPU. I would just say it's the video card but there's no screen tearing in-game, just a sudden crash. When playing skyrim it used to crash and force restart my computer. Sometimes now when it crashes it goes to windowed mode (still taking up the screen) and just stays as a black window. I just right click the game at the bottom and exit.. When playing sleeping dogs it would crash a red screen it would restart my computer, but this last time I got an error saying "HKShip.exe has stopped working" and the game exited to desktop. Anyone have any ideas? I strongly suspect PSU but I haven't ruled out my GPU yet.
Also, recently when the computer goes idle it will freeze. The computer will be in sleep mode and when I move the mouse the monitor doesn't come on. Mouse and keyboard have power (back lit) but when pressing caps lock, etc. the light doesn't turn on or off telling me it's working. This threw me for a loop, I've never heard of a pc doing this.
P.S. I've already done a clean OS reinstall and still no luck, so it has to be a hardware issue.
SPECS:
Windows 8 64-bit
i5-3570k
HD 7870
700W PSU
8gb corsair vengeance
1tb WD blue HDD
