So about 4 years ago i built the following system:
CPU AMD|PH II X4 920 AM2+ 2.8G RT
CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB)
MB GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-UD4H AM2+ R
HD 500G|SEAGATE ST3500418AS + Seagate 1TB external drive that i turned into a regular drive.
VGA SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL HD4870 1G R
CORSAIR HX Series HX850 850W
I built this with little knowledge about computers back then and it has worked fine until now.
Lately however it has been making my screen goes blank while staying on.
sometimes it restarts itself after a few seconds but most of the time a manual reset is required.
The only indicator that I get is 3 slow flashing red lights on my GPU. I suspect that this is a heat issue with the overall system since i use a stock heatsink and fan for my CPU, but I wanted to get some expert opinion on this. Thanks in advance!
