it started today. I was playing skyrimw/mods, always worked perfect and the screen just went black. keyboard and mouse lost power i think because the lights turned off. the system was still on and gpu fans still turning. I restarted the system manually and I started watching a movie and it happened again. I was using beta gpu drivers so I went back to offical wqhl (14.4)ones. I decided to fun a gpu benchmark to see if that can show anything but the screen goes black before the benchmark begins. Gotta restart PC. Tried again. Same thing, same time. Tried both benchmarks using the internal GPU and they ran as they should. Any suggestions? Also how gigabytes RMA? I bought this from Craig's list. Owned it amd it worked for months before this happened today


my specs:
phenom x4 ii no oc
r9 270 no oc
8gb ram
600w cosair psu

Bit of a tricky one this.
But if more than one thing was effected as you say, Its an indication to check that the power supply is not at fault first.
Next on your list is to keep an eye on the temps of the Gpu and cpu. If the temps are high on one or the other. check your fans inside to do with the graphics card and cpu are working.

If they are fine, then bad memory can cause the problem. so do a memory test, see if you get any errors.

Suddenly when I turn on the pc the GPU doesn't spin. Nothing shows up on the screen . switched to the internal gfx and nothing shows up on the screen though the PC does turn on. Fans are spinning no power to the keyboard and mouse though
