So have recently built a PC with the following specs
AMD FX Vishera 7350
Sapphire Radeon HD 7870
MSI 970A-G43 AMD970 950 AM3+
2x4Gb crucial Ballistix sport
1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM
Rosewill Stallion Series 600W
For the first 2 weeks the computer ran games great. While playing Starcraft II my computer completely froze up and I had to hard reset. No BSOD appeared. The computer then began to freeze within 5 minutes of booting up and eventually started freezing up while booting. At first I thought it was windows or the hard drive. I reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows. Still froze. I then took my roommates extra hard drive and hooked it up. Still froze. Took the pc to a shop and they told me to RMA the motherboard and memory. After a week of waiting for the parts to come back they finally came in. Hooked up the new motherboard and memory. Still froze. Then began to think it was the graphics card. Hooked up my roommates extra graphics card which uses a lot less power than the Radeon HD 7870. It idled for about 30 minutes so I decided to begin installing the motherboard drivers. The computer froze. I have tried switching the sata chord from the hard drive to motherboard. No luck. I am beginning to think it is my CPU since that and the PSU are the only things left. My PSU, GPU, and CPU are all still under the 30 day RMA period from newegg. What should I do????
