Earlier this year I started having a problem with my system... monitors would go blank & the computer would sound as though the fans had suddenly sped up as though it was rebooting. Discovered while watching a streaming video that the system was actually still running when this happened as I could hear the video still playing.
My first thought was graphics, so I changed the card, all good for a few weeks, then exactly the same problem started again.
Sometimes I would be able to boot and run the system for up to half an hour, then it would get worse and the screens would blank during boot up.
I have recently changed the motherboard, PSU & RAM. The only thing I kept was my old CPU. All has been good for about a month, then this morning the system failed to boot with exactly the same issue I was having before.
Specs:
Asus P8z68 Deluxe Gen 3
CPU - Core I7 2600 3.4Ghz LGA1155
RAM- 32Gb (4x8Gb) Gskills Ripjaws Z 1600
GPU Radeon HD6950 2Gb
PSU Corsair RM1000
Everything above, except the CPU & GPU is brand new, which is why I am thinking the issue must be with the CPU.
