So I've been having this problem for a couple of months now. It only happens when playing a game, although I think it would happen under any such stress, but my computer screen will freeze, displaying all these lines and colors, make a stuttering sound, and reboot.
It sounds like a heat issue but it's not. I've monitored everything and made sure nothing was overheating. I've so many fans in there now my tower would take of where I to remove the cover.
Of course I've went through thinking it was a driver issue. I went as far as doing a fresh install but it still happened.
Then I thought it was Ram, but the default windows test came up with nothing. I did memtest too and it showed a ton of errors but I dont have the experience to know what I was looking at. I did another test from some other brand and it showed nothing so I chose to ignore memtest.
I then thought it was the psu. Got a new one, same thing.
So today my new 5750 came. I installed it with great hopes. Well, It crashed during BF3 and I nearly cried.
So at this stage I guess it could be the ram, the motherboard or the cpu. I am lost and to the point where I want to learn how to use my sons' xbox controller and go console from now on. I can usually figure this stuff out. Please help.....if you can.
