I don't unerstand why I can't get solid reliability out of this thing`. Experienced Video Hardware Error again while playing Borderlands 2. Fix one problem, two more take its place. Proving to be a time and money pit now. It's not even like it's the same thing each time, it seems completely random what will mess up when it does mess up. In hindsight a PS4 isn't looking like such a bad idea. It's a catch 22 thing, it performs better than the consoles and all other computers I've used, just it's got way more issues than I'd like, Got two to three weeks of good reliability until it all started going wrong. Can't tell if it's hardware or software causing it either. Only thing I need now is a Blue Screen. Sort of just let it do whatever it likes no if it's not going to work properly.
How do you guys deal with a machine that will not do what it's meant to for than a couple of weeks?
EDIT:
Spec
2 x 2TB HDD. 1 x WD Black and 1 x WD Green
120 GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD
16 GB 1600 MHz RAM
Nvidia GeForce 760 2GB with Nvidia Boost Clock
Gigabyte H87 HD3 board
Intel 4570
Corsair CX600M PSU
TP Link 802.11N WiFi.
Framerate's pretty bad on Borderlands, dropping to as low as 17, going as high as over 100. Playing some Borderlands just now, picture blacks out and comes back thanks to a video hardware error (it's done this playing a YouTube video for goodness sake!). Had so many random problems since day 1, sort of just tired of it now. At this point my 360 is better performer in terms of does it work bug free or not. Starting to regret this just a bit now, that said it's still far better than my laptop, but the reliability needs help
It's almost like it was broken from day 1. Think I'm going to shut down for today, continue on the 360, get my rage out on XBL
