So recently (as in, the past 2 weeks), I built my first pc. Here are the specs;
600w Atrix Power supply
Intel 2 core quad 2.83GHz
8gb Ram (2x4gb)
1TB hard drive
Asus P5P43TD Pro mobo
Sapphire HD 7770 GHz Edition GPU
Windows 7 Ultimate
I installed Battlefield 4 and on first impressions worked like a dream... For about 30-50 seconds before crashing and taking me to the BSOD Upset, I went to a technician who recommend I reinstall Win7
I did, along with a reinstall in general by formatting the hard disk. Now I no longer get the BSOD. Played BF4 with no frame drop or anything bad and still crashing, only I get about a minutes worth of gameplay in.
Thinking it was my graphics card not being able to handle it I installed Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, this would crash maybe 5 minutes in doing this weird crash to nothing, reboot to blank screen with moving cursor, back to nothing, reboot to blank screen, ect ect. every time it came up with the cursor I could press the windows button, wait for it to do it's silly reboot thing, and it would come up with the desktop screen but it was delayed, so everytime i clicked something, it would only appear done after this reboot happened. Every reboot lasting 5 seconds or so... not sending any signal to the monitor.
As soon as I confirmed shutdown, it would behave normally and shutdown. I could then turn it on as if nothing happened. I could even get task manager up and end the game from there...
I uninstalled all the drivers for my card, reinstalled them and did a GPU stress test, it passing it fine with no BSOD's or crashes. after installing the catalyst drivers again, my games would crash, and then finding out, that every time I opened the AMD catalyst manager it would crash and do that reboot thing it always does....
So now I'm out of options, I've uninstalled the catalyst manager, but now my games won't even start up because unless I have the catalyst thing, non of my drivers are up to date and working.
Thanks for reading, if anyone can help it would be very much appreciated as this has been a massive anti-climatic experience building my first pc.
