I am so flustered right now so I decided that my last resort was to trust the community at tomshardware to help fix my amazing yet crappy PC. Randomly, for the past week, my PC"s audio/display studders. I have done a complete re installation of the nvidia drivers and made sure everything was updated including windows. PLEASE HELP! MY COMPUTER IS AN ESSENTIAL TO MY REPORT AT SCHOOL AND I NEED IT NOW.

Specs: (btw I built it myself)
Nvidia 660ti
Intel i7 3770k
8gb ballistix ram I think it's called
Asus: P8Z77-VLK
Cooler Master Extereme power plus 700w
And if it matters: netgear A6200 Wifi USB adaptor.

please, I beg, help me now, I've talked to nvidia and asus support and I littaraly think they don't know how to turn a computer on. Thanks!

are you using onboard sound? I dont think I saw a sound card in your descrip. If you dont... then I am going toward the motherboard.. however, when did you build this rig? do you have another GPU to test (even though ultimate connectivity test is the integrated.. it shows your motherboard isnt at fault.. we cant rule that out yet.

So, if you have a spare gpu anywhere, try to connect that and test your rig. Did you ever attempt to move your RAM into the other 2 slots? Try that as well, I dont like memtest either way which is why I mention this.

Lastly, what does your onboard GPU do when you power the PC. Can you see anything, does your keyboard flash?

When you go into the taskmgr.exe from start ->run. Go to processes, is the cpu or ram going near the top? If so, attempt to shut off some processes that aren't necessary. Also run a malware scan to ensure your rig is clean.

If all is well on the last 2 suggestions, attempt a memtest.

Lastly, use your integrated GPU and see if it runs smoothly.

Let us know what happens

Ok so mem test went 100% fine. Computer completely clean and scanned, no viruses. I plugged my monitor into my integrated graphics and there was no connection going through. I suspect it was always like that though as I have always used my graphics card.

Thanks,
Ford

No.. But I can tell you that many "power surges" have claimed to happen before any of this and the motherboard would shut itself down. But my house never has power surges and we have guards on our house that makes it so we can't have power surges. Also our power has never gone out in 20 years even through hurricanes

My fan is completely fine. Can we please private message at 3:30 PM I will be right by my computer ready to do things to it. Ill tell you why my fan is fine. All temperatures in my system are fine.

Please private message me as I will be willing to do test to my pc and give you live results


Thanks so much for the help.

Its been running smoothly today but I've only used it for an hour and it usually happens an a 3-4 hour continuous use basis. So if that happens, I'm ruling out it could be my processor, or fans at that point, what other reasons would you be considering? Maybe it is my power source.
