Ok, so the computer has been running completely fine for around 4 months now. I've chucked hard stuff at it and it has run fine. A week ago I was playing Garry's Mod (a HL2 mod) and the computer crashed mid-game. No warning, no frame stutter, the screen just went black, I got a message saying "No audio or visual connected" (or something like that), while I could hear that the computer was still running. I popped the side open just to check, and it the screen wasn't black, I would have said it was running fine. Neither the power or restart buttons worked, so I had to physically pull the plug to turn the machine off. I rebooted and all seemed fine. I assumed it was a glitch, and continued playing Garry's Mod. About 5 minutes later, exactly the same, with the computer crashing whilst still "running". I left it for a few days until I was playing Skyrim last night. I played for around 2 hours before the crash. Today, still Skyrim, same deal.
The computer performed wonderfully before, and I have never had a crash or even a glitch before now. So there wouldn't be any issue with hardware. There is no overclock, and the whole thing runs pretty cool.
I didn't cheap out on anything, Though I am running a stock AMD. Specs: AMD FX8320, Gigabyte R9 270, ASRock Extreme3, Patriot 8Gb, Antec HCG 520.
Any ideas as to what the problem may be?
