Hello,
My problem is as follows. I was problemlesly playing on my Radeon Sapphire 6870 card, when out of nowhere the PC froze. I had to manually turn it off and when I tried to turn it on, I got a black screen after Windows 8 loading logo (circle). Same with Windows 7, only there it was after login. (I have a dual boot).
I am currently suspecting dead GPU because of those reasons
- I have artefacts in BIOS (I don't have them with integrated MB card)
- After windows 8 reinstall I was able to run the system for a bit but then it crashed (screen full of blue sqaures - NOT bluescreen of death) and returned to same scenario (logo, blackscreen)
- The system runs without a problem on the integrated graphic card.
I was thinking that if not GPU it could be PSU (even though I have never had a problem with it before and I am using a SEASONIC one) but that probably wouldn't cause the artifacts in the bios and wouldn't be so abrupt.
On the other hand I was able to install the windows with the GPU and it ran okay for a while. Wouldn't there be artefacts during the instalation or shortly after if the GPU was faulty?
I do not have means to test it on other computer.
Thanks in advance
