Hello guys. It's my first post here and I hope you can help me with my problem.
It all happened when I bought myself a new GPU. I bought a new ASUS ENGTX560 Ti DCII TOP/2DI/1GD5 (I was on a tight budget from my parents...). I installed it correctly, made sure I plugged both PSU cables in it (2x6pin) and started my PC. It ran smooth with no real problems. Tried a few games that I had installed and I was satisfied with my purchase. My problems started two days later when I got what looked like a mouse freeze, but then realised that it was my PC that froze. Did a quick restart and it was fine. But from then my PC keeps freezing (sometimes for 3-5 seconds, sometimes it requires a restart and sometimes it even makes a crazy repetitive sound like old BSOD before Windows 8). Can anyone find a solution to this?
P.S.1: I did a clean install of the video driver before going into playing.
P.S.2: I have the 326.41 driver, but it happend the same with 320.49 driver too (the first one I installed).
P.S.3: Forgot to add PC specs: AMD Phenom II x4 945 3.00GHz, 4GB RAM DDR2@800MHz, ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe MOBO, ASUS ENGTX560 Ti DCII TOP 1GB, Thermaltake TR2 420w PSU, WD Blue WD800JD 80GB 7200 RPM, Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9 160GB 7200 RPM (almost wooden PC, I know...)
