Hey there,
New to the website but I thought this would be the best place to ask some questions.
Before you read this, Keep in mind this computer was bought pre built from a Future shop -.-
My computer has started giving me weird issues recently and I will try to explain it as best as possible.
When I play a game like LoL or Planetside 2, after a few minutes into a game i'll hear a loud noise like its overloading or using a lot of power or something, then my screen will go black and the sound will stay on for about 30 seconds before everything completely crashes.
The power is still on the computer after it crashes so I have to hold down the button to shut and restart it. A friend of mine said he had pretty close to the same problem and it was his motherboard. So I've taken it to a tigerdirect and the tech support there told me it could be either my power supply, video card, or motherboard (Not much help really).
Some specs
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-2310
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6670
1 TB of Space
(I can add more if needed)
I don't really know understand to much what the tech support told me but he said that my processor is an 1156 socket and that they don't make motherboards like that anymore, So i'd have to buy both.
I'm just looking for some help with what could potentially be the problem and if repairing it would be the best way to go, or if building a new gaming pc would be easier. Either choice i'd like to know the best parts to get at a budget.
I can add more info if needed. Thank you in advance
Added Info:
Power Supply - 300w Max
