So I have just upgraded my new computer by replacing my motherboard,CPU,GPU and PSU.I have this setup for the last 4 months and in terms of performance I have been extremely happy with it.But I had a few issues that I would like to ask and if there are actual problems that I should be paying attention to or if they are just a few misfires.
Now this is the first build that I've put together and because my old setup was extremely solid in terms of stability and reliability I'd like to know if any of the stuff that I'm about to mention are normal...
The first thing that happened was about 2 months ago while I was browsing on youtube and eventually when I clicked on a thumbnail the screen just went blue with a lot of flickering yellow lines and I couldn't do anything it just kept on going until I rebooted the PC.I asked one of my friends and he said to me that it could be just an occurrence so I decided to let it go.About 2 hours ago though again while browsing but this time I just changed a tab and the screen went again completely blue with no errors but no flickering yellow lines it was just plain blue.So I rebooted the PC again but it wouldn't reboot at all (but the screen recovered) so then I shut it down completely and waited for about 15 minutes to try and boot it and luckily enough it did!
So my question is if it's simply some sort of driver issue or compatibility or a hardware issue because I really don't know what can cause this and I'm kind of standing in nowhere with my limited experience and amateur knowledge.I don't think that it could be the temps of my cpu or gpu because I'm monitoring them both when the PC is on and they are pretty normal.My 270X is around 30 degrees AVG and around 60 depending on the load (I don't overclock the card) and my FX8320 is cooled by a H80i set at quiet mode and is at about 20 degrees and around 40 maximum under load (again I don't overclock...yet).
Thanks for your attention!
Specs:
AsRock 970 Extreme 3 R2.0
AMD FX8320+Corsair H80i
MSI R9 270X Gaming Edition 2G
Trancsend 4GB Ram 1333mhz
Corsair VS550
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit OEM
AMD Catalyst 14.1 (just updating to 14.3 after this)
I don't know the bios version I'd have to look into it...
So today I pulled the GPU off the mobo and cleaned it with q-tips...It looks awesome with that matte black PCB but anyway the temps have dropped to about 28-29 degrees Celsius and the pc seems to be running pretty similarly compared to previously so I just have to wait and see but I am actually going to try stress testing the CPU and the GPU just to get an idea if there is anything going on with them...
Again thanks for your time!
