Firstly, I'd like to say I'm new to the community so my formatting may not be ideal and I'll try to update/edit accordingly. I've read of a few problems about Gigabyte mobo's and AMD Radeon gpu having a few issues that were similar to mine but lacked a comprehensive answer since I tried to perform the troubleshooting without much success in resolving my problem.
As stated in the title, my windows 7 issues me a warning that my GPU fails to respond after a timeout/freeze and often turns off my monitor without any sort of system recovery (I can only assume its a BSoD). I have even taken out my gpu leaving my PCI-e slot empty and relying on internal gpu but still have the same reoccurring freeze. I've tried a few things such as fresh install of windows 7 (32bit not ideal but its all I have), tweaking bios settings (includes prioritizing PCI over internal gpu and turning off internal gpu standby) and uninstall and reinstall of gpu drivers (I have not used the 3rd party app to do the clean uninstall and unsure whether or not this works). My event viewer didn't yield any concrete issues except for improper power down and not the GPU warning.
I've brought my computer into my local computer store to have it checked incase I may of improperly built my system and what not. I was told the issue was my ssd drive or windows 7 and was told specifically that my power supply and cpu (ie no overheating) are fine. So I re-seat my drives and update firmware on my ssd drive and another fresh install yet the problem I have persists (and perhaps more frequently).
System is as follows:
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP4 TH
CPU - Intel Core i5-3570k cpu @ 3.40 GHz
GPU - AMD Radeon Sapphire HD 7850 2gb
SSD Drive - Mushkin chrome deluxe 240 gb
RAM - OCZ 2gb ripjaw
I'm new so I'm a little unsure how I would post a dxdiag if someone could post a link (sorry, I'm a little lazy coming to the end of this post).
TL;DR BSoD (I assume) when playing games or timeout during browsing please help; thanks.
