Hello everybody,
this one has me pulling my hair out. i have a custom built pc. Its been working really nice since i got it in august. Last week i was just surfing the internet and all of a sudden the screen freezes and a bbbrrrrrrrr noise comes out of the headphones. I only panic a little and i thought it was just a little glitch. So i had to hold the power down and manually restart it. Then the next day the same thing happened but it happened when the computer was idle. So i use the system restore and restore it to a point where i knew it was working fine. After i did the restore the computer did not make the bbbbrrrrrr noise in the headphones it just restarted. No blue screen or anything. Also one time whenever i tried to go to "my computer" or my music windows explorer crashed. so my next step was to reseat the graphics cards. I do that and it delayed the amount of time between crashes and it stopped the computer from restarting. Now it is just locking up at this point. so i tried reseating the RAM and doing a memory test and it came out clear. yesterday my second monitor was flickering every 30 seconds or so. also when i plug the monitor into my top graphics card the screen is blue and has a lot of lines all over it. (it looks bad) After reading that for some people it was the wireless adapter that caused the problem i removed that. didnt fix anything. also one time the computer didnt crash the usb ports completely stopped working. i really do not know what to do at this point. i tried running a stress test and my computer crashed. i have had this thing for 7 months now and i havent had a problem with it crashing. its a pretty stable system (or should i say was a pretty stable system) i have run stress tests on it before (when i got it) and they all passed really good. hopefully i didnt confuse anyone. if there are any questions i will gladly answer them. i will post my specs below and thank you so much in advance for your help. hopefully we can solve this problem.
Intel core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz
32 GB of ram
2x AMD Radeon 7870
1200 watt power supply coolermaster
I have a liquid cooler on the processor.
if you need anymore specs just ask!
again thank you so much
Mike
