Hi guys,
Recently I ran into a problem with my rig.
I was playing DayZ and the game just crashed on me giving me blue/black screen with white dots all around (see picture). where the other screen that I was not really using (secondary monitor) just lost connection and said "No video output".
It happened several times so I decided to fresh install my GPU drivers and update my Motherboard drivers. Did that, updated to latest version but same thing happened. Thought it was overheating so I cleaned the inside up, left side opened so more air could flow into it and the temp stays at 58c while playing.
I reduced the video quality in game and it didn't crash again... (strange)
Now I tried to play some Age Of Empires 3 with my friends and same thing happens all the time when I am 2 mins ingame
Weird noises, screen crashing and flashing, no signal in screen 2 and main screen blue/black with white dots.
Went into safe mode and uninstalled GPU drivers completely and installed the new ones again (Also tried older ones previously). Cleaned registry in the meantime and this did not help. Game was crashing again.
Decided to reinstall whole game and this time while I was doing this, the system crashed on me while performing the uninstall of AOE :|
Had to hard reset, when the windows flag was loaded up I got a blue screen informing about some GPU drivers wrong etc. Went into safe mode and uninstalled the game there, after that I got into windows fine and now I'm here.
Would you think this is GPU fault or System fault?
Would fresh windows install help?
My spec are:
i5-3570k
EVGA GTX 680
EVGA 750 GOLD PSU
Intel Liquid CPU Cooler
SSD + HDD
etc...
