Hi, I have recently experienced this nagging issue when I am a)either playing games(Dota 2, was fine in the lobby, but the moment I loaded a game inside, it happened) or b)running a flash player online(Twitch stream) with other programs or c)a multitude of basically harmless looking programs(it happened when I had JDownloader,IE7, Firefox,Steam on),d)it happened once when I plugged in my iphone 5 USB cable to charge via the front USB port and I dare not try it again, and my computer will get a black screen, with a sleep mode-like status.
It seems like a crash to me, as what appears is black screen, and there's nothing I can do to restore it, NOT EVEN holding the power button for 10secs or more. The ONLY way to proceed was to off the power supply, and re-on the computer, and everything runs normal again.
Steps I have taken to resolve this, but to no avail:
-Went to the local computer shop, the technician inspected my CPU, discovered my Gfx card's fan was not turning, so I replaced it with a fresh Gfx card, and the problem still persists
-Plugging in various USB devices in the front USB port didn't cause any problems(controller, portable hard drives)
-I have 2x2GB memory sticks, and use them in a 2 memory slot mother board. I have tried alternately using just 1 memory stick in either slots, and I crash on BOTH slots, and the memory stick is tested fine as well.
I have downloaded both GPU-Z and Everest to monitor my temperatures, but the GPU hardly exceeds 40degrees Celsius inside my game(Dota 2)
What else can I do here, as this is just frustrating, I can't even risk having 3 or 4 different programs on at once, that I never would've dreamed would cause me even the slightest of problems.
Update 1: I have changed a fresh PSU to solve this issue, and I can confirm that I am still crashing.
These are the fan speeds & temperatures when I'm not running anything at all.
