Greetings all... Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction with a strange issue I'm having with my desktop. I've had a working desktop for years now and just upgraded some components -- I recently bought an Asus rampage IV extreme mobo, 1200w psu and an Intel i7 CPU. A month or so ago I also purchased a GTX690 which worked fine with my previous mobo.
Here's the problem: after upgrading with the new equipment, occasionally it would suddenly crash and my monitor would go to black saying no dvi signal. One time I noticed it crashed after I had adjusted my chair, so I rebooted it, waited for the desktop to load, and gave the case a light tap and it happened again. I figured it was a bad connection somewhere so I tried my best to tighten everything possible but it still happens. Since all the components are new, it's hard for me to pinpoint which one is giving me the trouble -- a faulty wire in the psu? faulty motherboard? maybe the video card (unlikely since it worked fine with my previous mobo). Anyone have a suggestion/experienced a similar problem?
Thank you in advance!
