Hello everyone, I'm looking for some help on fixing this issue, first of all, I'll post some specs to assist.
MoBo: ASRock Extreme 4 Z77
GPU: EVGA GTX 660
CPU: Intel i7 3770k
PSU: Thermaltake 850W
RAM: 12GB
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Monitors: 2 1920 x 1080 HD Monitors with DVI Cables.
Hopefully that's enough information. So here's whats been happening.
Whenever I try and run a game, or run something that is graphics intense, both screens switch to a random color, and my computer freezes.
I ran FurMark for about 10 minutes and nothing out of the ordinary happened, so I assumed it was just a one time thing. I ran Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, and as soon as I got to the main menu, sure enough, both computer monitors switched to a random color, and my computer froze.
What is the next step I should take? Is it a Hardware or Software problem? I haven't had any issues with my rig in months and months.
So, that's about all the information I can think to give you guys. If you need any additional info I'll be monitoring this thread very closely and trying whatever it is you guys ask me to try.
I appreciate it!
UPDATE: The issue has become MUCH WORSE, as now, FurMark won't even start, howver the computer is still powered on, and doesn't reset.
Is this a sign that it is a GPU Hardware failure?
