Got a new gaming PC a couple of months ago, I've had nothing but problems and it's completely unusable.
AMD fx 6300 six core
Radeon HD 7700
Games tested:
New Vegas: Crashes out in less than a minute, display driver has stopped responding.
Fallout 3: Same as above.
Skyrim: Same as above.
Oblivion: Same as above.
Mass Effect: Runs for a little while, then it will freeze, flash black, I get the stopped responding error but then the game recovers for another seconds, freezes, and repeats this cycle continuously.
Team Fortress 2: Crashes out after 15 mins without fail, screen goes black, still have audio, game is still running for all intents and purposes.
What I've tested:
- overheating doesn't seem to be the issue. GPU maxes out at 50, CPU at around 40.
- completely wiped the graphics drivers and reinstalled them (numerous times.)
- reinstalled direct x
- formatted and reinstalled windows
- turned off the overclocking
- diagnosed all problems related to running them with windows 7 (moving from protected area)
- running as admin, running is xp sp3 compat mode, vista sp2 compat mode
- running steam itself as an admin
- running in windowed mode
- forcing games to only use two cores
- running the games on minimum settings
- threatened it
As far as I can tell, hardware faults are the only possibilities left.
I've taken it to a repair place and they said they found nothing wrong with it, did an OS and driver reinstall but it solved absolutely nothing. It was a prebuilt system, regretting it now. Company won't take it back, now learned that they're a pretty awful company and basically a gamble to buy from. I know I should've done some research or built it myself, but I had the money and have been out of the hardware scene for a while. I was lazy.
Just want to know if this £800 coffee table is salvageable really. Any help greatly appreciated.
