Hello,
I revently bought a computer and I have been having some trouble with my graphics card. Sometimes it will crash randomly. The crash doesnt seem to be tied to any program but just happens. My monitor goes black and says no connection. Then, I cant hold the power button to turn of the tower, I have to physically unplug the power and plug it back in. When I try to boot back up, sometimes the display will come up then crash, or not come up at all. This seems to happen most when I shut it down for the night and then turn it back on in the morning. Then, its the same procedure. Unplug, plug back in, boot up.
I have trolled the interwebs for solutions and seen anything ranging from bad mobo, bad graphics card, and mostly bad power supply. I do admit I have a shitty power supply, so I am leaning towards that being the problem.
Oh, and I cheated and took the easy way out. Instead of building my PC. I bought one form ibuypower. Im paying for that now. I want to avoid sending the whole tower back. So I want to just send a certain part if I have to. Any help in narrowing down the problem is much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
System:
•AMD FX Vishera Processor
•Gigabyte R7 260X Graphics Card
•MSI 760GMA-P34 Motherboard
•Western Digital 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
•APEX 500W Power Supply
•AZZA Solaris Chassis
-8GB DDR3-1600
