Display Crashes, No power to Keyboard, Comp's fans spins wicked crazy afterwards

Raindro · Jun 2, 2014

just recently this problem has started happening (may 26, same day as new drivers and watchdogs came out, to which i started experiencing the problem afterwards) My specs are

Operating System
Windows 8 64-bit
CPU
AMD A10-5700
Trinity 32nm Technology
RAM
17.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz
Motherboard
MSI 2AE0 (P0)
Graphics
HP W2072a (1600x900@60Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (EVGA)
Storage
1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-9YN164 (SATA)
Optical Drives
hp DVD A DH16ACSHR

ive tried everything from installing new fans (thinking it was a overheating problem, which it wasnt. the cpu is running around 50c on average), trying new drivers, and i plan on borrowing another gpu to see if that is what is causing the problem. im running a 500w corsair cx500 psu which ive had for years and i don think that would be the problem. im really a noob when it comes to this stuff. but every couple of hours my display will just randomly crash, forcing me to hard reboot my computer. Id really appreciate help solving the problem.

test the gpu and if it ok them memtest ram one module at the time and why 17 gig .

Why would you have DDR3 RAM running at 665Mhz when that is a DDR1 speed? Anyway, make sure it is running at (usually) 1333MHz. Is your Windows 8 completely updated? Also, are there any blue screens of death and what do they say if there are?

Geomaster44 :

To scout, i have tested 3 of my GPU's i own and the problem occurs with them as well. i have 18gb ram but for some reason only 17.4 is available. To you geo, i dont exactly know why either. im new to the whole computer thing and ive only had this one for about 2 years. there is no blue screen of death, it is just the audio (audio of what was currently on screen) looping fast while the monitor turns off. a complete crash. i have to hard reboot my computer. my windows 8 is updated with all the new updates. i could update it to 8.1 if you that would help. ps, i dont know how to control ram speed.

could you test your psu in another system or have another one you could use it could be it or a motherboard issue also does all the driver for the mobo are up to date .

i just tested my psu today, it isnt the problem. i also have tried different drivers as well. at this point im not sure what the problem is. ive been monitoring my computer while under pressure of animating and playing games and the cpu spikes up to around 90% usage on all 4 cores if thats normal. if it was my motherboard how might have the problem happened and what can i do to fix that?

scout_03 · Jun 4, 2014

since this is a hp model system give the full name and model of that system also this board support dual memory channel so i would try with one module then a dual channel one to see what happens ,give the psu power .

scout_03 :

the model is a p7-1451 PC and i dont exactly know what or how to do that. stock motherboard still. the psu is 500w. ive ruled out the problem that it would be the psu. ive noticed in particular that when i run sniper elite V2 (a game) that my desktop almost crashes instantly, as to where any other game would take about an hour or two. i still need to hard reboot to get back to my desktop as well

this gpu need 500 watts and 2 x 6 pins power cable from the psu http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-760/specifications but in your the psu is only 300 watts so it heat up and cut lack of power http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=fr&lc=fr&dlc=fr&docname=c03509216#N1400

scout_03 :

but i said i switched out the stock psu for the 500w psu haha. its fine with the power. ive also got the pins set up correctly

scout_03 · Jun 6, 2014

did you try with the psu that came with the system with a less hungry gpu card on power .

Raindro · Jun 7, 2014

scout_03 :

i still have my 300w psu with a gt 640 card and a gtx 660 card. ill let you know once i get around to doing that. maybe tomorrow. but its worth a try

scout_03 · Jun 7, 2014

there could some since this is a hp system the could have include something in the bios so system will only work with there parts .

Raindro · Jun 8, 2014

scout_03 :

i see, ive been running the 500w psu for 2 years now and havent ever had a problem with it. the problem still occurs even with the other psu. i switched them back out again. i might just get service done on my pc by a professional or something but i dont know where to start or how to explain what is happening. because it happens at the most random times

scout_03 · Jun 8, 2014

then the ram test and if they are good last option would be to check the motherboard . in the same time if you have a voltmeter around i would check the voltage of the cmos battery if it is the same as mark on her .

Raindro · Jun 8, 2014

scout_03 :

how would i test the ram? the crashes happen randomly up to 4 times a day and itd take forever to just test one stick at a time. i have 4.

scout_03 · Jun 9, 2014

that will permit to see if it not the motherboard that made this if you have a magnifier look for any sign of bubled capacitor or something similar on the motherboard .

Raindro · Jun 10, 2014

scout_03 :

as soon as i get to doing that ill let you know. i wont have time to take apart my pc any time today

scout_03 · Jun 10, 2014

will wait to see what you find from the test .
