My computer set-up:
http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/Lc9kXL
Shorter:
CPU : i5-4670K
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-z87-d3HP
GPU : Radeon R9 280x 3GB
PSU : Corsair 600W
OS : WIndows 8
These problems started recently. There's two phases to this problem.
1st phase: This was basically the start of my problem with this PC. Sometimes my PC would shut down randomly, the PSU would work but nothing would work except itself. I needed to cut down PSU power before it decided to light back on after a few times. I removed the PSU, then put it back in, connecting everything together. The PC worked again without doing that error.
Now phase 2: Shortly after, I noticed that often, my USB ports often completely shut down, and start again a few seconds after. That includes everything connected by USB : Mouse, Keyboard and headphones, to be more precise. This was annoying, but I could cope with.
The real problem is now that my PC just freezes during gameplay. It only does this when the computer is working in a game. On a very intensive game, it may happen under an hour. On a less intensive game, it happens 3-4 hours of playing . There's nothing I can do but hard reset the PC , but then the computer starts completely fine.
My temperatures never go over 70 Celsius, as well. At first I thought this was a PSU or GPU problem, and I couldn't figure for the life of me which. Now I'm starting to fear it may be a Motherboard problem.
I recently discovered that in my device manager, it notes that my SM controller bus drivers are non-existant. Might that be the solution? Or can you help me fix this very frustrating problem? Thank you for your help.
