Hey guys,
Before I begin, here are my system specs as I remember them:
5.2 GB DDR
i5 2500K
5770HD
Antec 440W PSU
A pair of 500GB HDs that function fine when used in an external enclosure. Windows 7
So on to my issue:
Put simply, my computer is failing to boot up. This is sort of a recurring issue, since about a month ago I was just using chrome (with Killing Floor running in the background since I died early on in round 10 and was just waiting for my team to win or die), and the sound went berserk, the display showed a whole bunch of crazy colors (they looked like a magic eye painting, or an early 2000s direct X error), I got a blue screen of death, and then the computer shut down and would not boot up again.
I should be clear that at this stage I have changed no hardware, installed nothing remarkable (e.g. no drivers etc.), and that the system has been functioning without incident since summer 2010.
I press the power button about a week later on a whim, and it boots up as normal! I figure it's an isolated incident, but a week later it happens again.
Again, it would not boot up initially, and I leave it alone for a few days and it boots up okay.
Most recently, I was streaming some TV shows when I went to bed, and when I wake up in the morning, I cannot wake the computer from sleep. So I kill the power, switch it back on, and once again the same issue as before.
Does anyone have a solution? Thanks!
