Hello, I am a new user to Tom's, and I need some major help. I just built my first PC, and I'm having some issues. I've gotten everything from BSOD, to display drivers were unresponsive and have recovered, to this application has been blocked from the Graphics Hardware, to the computer freezing and rebooting itself. I need help on determining what part of my PC is actually causing these problems. These problems occur from when I'm trying to play a game, or even using Photoshop. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Specs:
PSU: Corsair CX750
CPU: Intel i5-4570
GPU: ASUS GTX 760 DirectCUII
RAM: Corsair Vengence 2x4GB

It doesn't hurt to check right? That will be the first thing I try tomorrow. I feel like I did, but it's worth checking out. Is there anyway to check the CPU temp?

Okay, I checked my CPU cooler, and it was on correctly, I ran memtest86, and it said my RAM was completely fine. But the problem is still occurring.

I think I finally found out what it is! I think it was the GPU, I didn't have an extra GPU, so I just took out the GPU and plugged my monitor into the mobo, and I was able to play steam games without any problems! Now the question is, do I return the GPU (as it is still under warrenty) for hardware problems, or could it be Software problems?
