Hello,
As the title suggests, my computer will, at random moments, completely seize up, the sound will stutter for a second or so, and then reboot. I am not an expert on these sort of stuff, but I think that's what we call a kernel panic. This started happening after I upgraded from my old GTX 670 to a GTX 980. Installed all necessary Web drivers and CUDA but the issue still randomly occurs.
Well, when I say randomly, there seems to be a common thing that might be causing it but it's way too broad. The crashes will always occur if I have browser open and with a YouTube tab playing a video. That's it, the time it will happen though is wildly inconsistent. Some times it will crash 5 minutes in playing a video, other times it will crash after I have played a total of 5 hours of videos on it.
I run a lot of memory and graphically demanding apps, mainly Maya, but that won't crash it. When it decides to crash, it's always when a YouTube video is playing in the background. Doesn't matter which browser, it's like a ticking bomb, it WILL crash.
If there isn't a solution, at least I want to see if other people are suffering from the same issues, just so I can be sure I don't have a lemon graphics card.
This is my first built and that worries me a bit, plus, all search results on Google returned some people having some issues with Final Cut crashing on them but not a complete freeze and reboot.
Thank you for your time.
