I've had this PC for about 3 years now (custom) and it's been working without issue for that length of time. But ever since about a week ago, it's been on the fritz; it kept giving me a BSOD with various reasons, and I could barely keep the thing on for more than an hour before it'd happen again. I figured maybe it was because it had been a really long time since I last cleaned the thing's guts, so I took it out and airdusted the whole setup. I reseated the RAM cards and the graphics card, reset the BIOS to factory defaults, and when I booted it up again, it seemed like everything was alright.
Now, however, the issues is that any time I try to play a game or watch shows on Netflix (or sometimes both), I won't get a BSOD. Instead, both my monitors will cut out and that'll be the end of it. But the computer itself is still running; I can hear the fan going, the lights inside are still on, and the CD drive will open and close. I figured it was a problem with the graphics card, but I'm also noticing that the mouse, keyboard and mic are all turning off as well. I'm not very tech savvy, so I'd really appreciate all the help I could get.
