Recently, my computer has been unstable. Usually it will bootup just fine, other times it will not boot (I'll go into specifics below). Sometimes while playing games or watching videos, both of my monitors will go all black, and then display again, as if it had a mini-crash and recovered. Sometimes the computer will lockup, usually CPU hogged by "System Interrupts".
For the startup, sometimes I will press the power button, hear the beep, then nothing will display on my monitor. After several tries it will actually bootup. I have a temp monitor on the front of the case, and previously this screen will stay on nice and strong, but recently, it flickers, or the screen is very dim.
Anyone have an idea what may be the problem? I assume it may be a faulty graphics card, but I am not sure.
