AMD FX 6-Core 3.6ghz Processor
Asus M5 A78L-M Motherboard
Sapphire Radeon R7 260x Graphics Card
3 x 4 GB DDR3 RAM : 12GB
600w Power Supply
Upon initial installation of graphics card, the computer seemed to hang- toned down the graphics demand and it subsided. Additional issue, the driver seemed to have a conflict with the current version of Skype but that seemed unavoidable, downgraded Skype and moved on.
Yesterday, it hung once again, not under any significant load. Restarted, and it hung once again after only a couple minutes. Restarted once more, but rather than being greeted by windows, it merely gave me a BSOD mid-startup. Alright, non-cooperation aside, tried to load into safe mode- it hung up loading windows this time. Tried running Startup Repair, it gave me a BSOD. (No, I can not recreate the BSOD to get the specific error.)
Since then, it has ceased video all together. Occasionally, you get video, seems to be a RNG whether or not you do, and my luck is poor. When you do get video, you can try to load into windows, but it'll hang- you can also try to load Startup Repair again, but it'll hang. It doesn't seem to hang if you navigate BIOS Setup Utility, which is comforting. I found that for a while, I could get video a reasonable amount of time if I removed the battery and unplugged the tower. This worked a number of times as I messed with the BIOS, with no luck. I then decided, since I had a means to get video, I'd remove the unnecessary items on the PC, as I had done before, and see if I could rule out conflicts. Once I removed everything but the essentials, I stopped getting video. I have since put them back, but haven't gotten video again since.
