With the consistent time lag in crashing this sounds like a fried graphics card to me. It does not lock until you have put a load on it. I suggest trying a different card if you have one or buy a new one and see if this corrects your issue. If it does not you can return the new one.

Cards are finicky. Make doubly sure the card or new one is listed as workable from the MSI web site.

Static electricty might be all just fine and then one day you handle the card and a bit of dust you can not even see causes a spark that fries or at least burns a pathway. Many times you can not see damage with the naked eye. (can I say naked in this PG forum?)

I have seen weirder things happens but interchanging the card and trying the game will at least rule out or in the card itself.

I have had an Nvidia card in my current PC for 6 years now. The mother board and power supplies both have burned up and been replaced but the card has lasted.


By the way ... what is that serial port on the back of your main board supposed to be for?

It's been a good card, but it still might be a good excuse for a new one.
