Alright, so I just joined this forum specifically because I want help with this issue. I -really- want to get it fixed and I'm currently praying that it's something that can be easily fixed without spending an ounce of cash.
Here's my build at the moment.
GPU: Radeon r7 260x Sapphire, 2GB OC edition
CPU: AMD FX-4300
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+ AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
PSU: Antec VP-450 450 Watt Energy Star Certified Power Supply
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500 GB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 16MB
Case: Rosewill Dual Fans MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case FBM-01
So, I recently built a gaming computer about a month ago. Everything went fine with the build and it was, overall, a good experience. About two weeks back I took a look at the interior of my case and frowned at the wires I saw. It was -certainly- not helping air flow and it may have been one of the reasons that artifacts appeared in my games after a while of play.
So, I took it upon myself to rethread the wires so it'd be neat and help air flow. Unplugging the case from the power supply, I pulled the wires back around the other side then plugged them in all properly (of course I touched something metal beforehand so I wouldn't have to worry 'bout static). It was a bit of a difficulty trying to close the other side of the case after that, but I managed to get it done...
So I was playing on my computer, having a good time... when I suddenly heard what sounded like a "click" (that frequently occurs when I press the power button to turn the computer -off-) and my comp just up and died.
I panicked, thinking that it was something like the case panel pushing too hard against the wires and causing them to -snap- or something. I opened it up and after a bit of work I put all the cords back to their original... not so good position.
It was working fine for a while after that, but then shut down again, making me worry that I damaged my cords permanently or something like that. However after a while (and me stuffing the cords as a tangled mess as far from the fans as I could) it started working once again.
Now my PC usually performs a diskcheck on startup. One of the weird things I've noticed is that it seems to follow a pattern when it dies. Which makes me think this may be a software error of sorts. It usually dies after loading to a certain percent on startup and when I use Startup repair it always dies at the exact same time. I'm being earnest, I started my computer up and used startup repair each time... each failure was within about a second from each other.
So, can anyone please help? I'm seriously worried for my comp!
