Hey, recently, well, not recently, like a few months ago my PC has started to act really weird.
While playing some games, like MW2, BF3, GRID 2 and sometimes even Minecraft, my computer's screen goes black, the sound loops for like 3 seconds, and it seems to go into hibernation mode or something, because my mouse logo and headsets LED's are still on. The fans go quiet, but LEDs are still flashing inside my PC.
I've monitored the temperatures of my GPU and CPU while gaming, and it doesn't seem to overheat, the GPU's max is like 54C, and the CPU goes to about 71-73.
When I play games like FiFA13 it doesn't do that, but when I try and crank up the graphics a little, it then black screens aswell.. It's weird, I can play MW3 and BO2 fine, but MW2 seems to crash alot. And GRID 2 is even worse, I can't even get past the 1st race.
I've dusted the GPU completely, there's pretty much no visible dust, the main back fan is running fine and is clean aswell.
I'll list my specs here:
MoBo: Intel DH61-CR
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500 @ 3.3GHZ (Turbo Boost 3.7GHZ)
HDD: ST310005 24AS (Seagate) (Sata 2-3 GB/s)
GPU: Nvidia GForce GTX 550 Ti
RAM:Kingston DDR3 8GB (CT2KIT102464BA1339)
PSU: Chieftec GPA-500S8
I bought this machine over a year ago in the winter.
Can anyone please help? Thanks!
