how do i fix this, my pc monitor started going on and off as if it lost the signal, then it suddenly started turning itself off. The other day i got the blue screen saying "system thread exception not handled (atihd86)"

I assume its a faulty driver but now the pc reboots after 30 secs and i haven't even got the time to get it in safe mode.

Please help

Well, I don't know about you, but for me that's a good sign lol.

Far easier to go get a new PSU than it being some bios problem or drivers that could take days of research to fix :p

My first CX600 PSU did the same thing to my build with the built in anti surge, I got a new Seasonic PSU and 3.5 years going strong still :)

I'm sure the poor ARTIX couldn't handle the 8320 and the r9 270 very well and eventually lead to this...One thing I hope is that your mobo is alright. :S

Just so you know, this is a common problem with all prebuilt computers, all terrible motherboards and powersupplies... >:$

I wouldn't know how to overclock it,

I haven't made any changes apart from adding a 32" tv on a dvi cable from the graphics card. I had this setup berfore but recently i moved house and bought a longer cable - wouldn't have thought a cable change would do this Only thing that springs to mind is my hard drive failed and the pc won't start with it connected. So i dis-connected it and it runs/ran fine

I'll do what you suggested and get back to you.

TO Jaraldo,

i did get the screen of death but only after taking out the graphics card and trying to use the onboard graphics to try eliminate the problem. but now i don't get the blue screen with either graphics options. The pc turns on, starts up. I can log in and get 15 seconds of use before it restarts. Then it gets stuck on the first screen (press f8 screen) where i have to manually reset it.

I don't have the boot disk as you right it was pre-built and didn't some with one. I did manage to get to the startup repair screen but it reset itself before i could do anything.

I was wondering if it was hot!

Yes.. sad sight this PSU is lol :lol:

I remember someone had a thread a few weeks ago with this model and it was whining and blue screening bad...

Edit: if I remember right, that is psu is mostly in the UK, so you have access to the xfx 550w; a nice seasonic based PSU that won't ever betray you :p

another update,

i reset the bios, undated date, boot order etc.

pc started to load then screen went blank, another screen appeared with loads of writing on it. stuff like
usb device(s): 1 keyboard
auto-detecting sata3g_1...ide hard disk

then at the bottom of the page it says

"power supply surges detected during the previous power on, asus anti-surge was triggered to protect from unstable psu"

f1 to run setup
f2 to load default values and continue

I tried F1 and it took me to bios, so i tried f2 and now its trying an auto repair

did this for 20 secs and loaded the page mentioned above with the f1 & f2 options.

Is it looking like my rubbish psu is causing this
