Hello, I built my computer roughly 1 year ago and had no problems until about a week ago. I started getting the BSOD that said memory_management or something like that. That happened once every couple of days, and then my games started crashing when I tried playing them. I reinstalled Windows 7 and started going through all my updates for drivers etc. All the drivers were installed and there were just a few windows updates left. This is when my computer started restarting itself randomly. My computer would only turn on for a couple seconds to a couple minutes without restarting on its own. I did some research and thought it might be my RAM so I replaced it and still had the same issues. The next day I tried turning it on a couple more times and it kept doing the same thing, until one time my computer turned on and I could see the led lights light up on my fans, but there was no display on the screen. I checked to see if everything was getting power, and the fans on my PSU and GPU are both working, as well as everything else. Its been a couple days and so far the only thing i've tested is the display, and it works fine. Any tips or help would be much appreciated!

BTW- my computer doesn't restart on its own anymore, the only problem is that I cant receive display.

-Thanks

My computer specs are:

-Thermaltake smart 630w
-Saphire Radeon HD 6850
-AMD Phenom ll Quad-Core Processor
-CORSAIR Vengeance 8gb (2x4gb)
-Seagate 1TB HD
-M5A97 ASUS Motherboard

So I tested my GPU and PSU on two different computers that I know both work. The PSU worked fine with both computers and booted up. When I tried the GPU both times i got no visual on the screen, but then the THIRD time i put it another computer with a higher PSU the computer booted up! I tried a different chord and that wasn't the issue. I also tried a different GPU in MY computer and the same issue happened again. I am pretty sure that this means that it is my MOBO? Let me know what you think.
