So I recently returned from a fairly long business trip (3 months), and I came back and my computer has started to have errors.
When I'm playing a game (FM2013, Borderlands 2), every so often my computer screen turns black and my computer reboots.
I've googled some solutions. First I cleaned out the inside of the computer of dust, I've updated my video card drivers. I've also monitored my hardware temperature with CPUID and found that the temperature of my video card stays around 55-70 with the highest peak of 80. I've also run memtest86 for about 24 hours, and encountered no errors. I've also tried using driver fusion and reinstalling AMD beta and cleaning my registry with ccleaner. And my my cpu temps (according to CPUID) range from a min of ~45C (113F) to about ~65C (149F).
My specs are:
Windows 7 x64
AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 255 Processor, 3100 Mhz
ASUSTek M4A78LT-M-ME
Radeon HD5770
OCZ Gamestream 700w
The only solutions listed that I haven't tried are updating my bios (not entirely sure how to do this, and some sites said I shouldn't update this unless i absolutely have to?), and a full reinstall of windows.
Any help on the issue would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! I'm not the most tech-savvy individual so if any solutions could be in the simplest terms that be awesome as well
