So this has been a relatively stable machine for the last 7 to 8 months (I built it Decemeber 2013).
Today while it was idling, Firefox and VLC media player being the only open applciations, I lost monitor signal. Restart worked only for a few minutes before losing signal again.
I removed the graphics card (Radeon 7750) and switched to the integrated. However this too lasts only for 15 minutes before losing signal.
I ran some long music and waited for the crash, and the music stops as well indicating it wasn't a problem with just hte video signal. The pc fans and lights keep running even with the no signal.
Running on my linux parition (Fedora 32 bit) gives slightly longer times before it crashes.
I ran memtest 86 but it crashed (no signal) about 25% through.
I don't have acess to another desktop pc to test out whether it is solely the RAM. Is there anything I could do to try to fix it? Does removing the CMOS battery help?
Motherboard is an Asus 760GM-P23
CPU: AMD FX 6100
Memory: 1xCrucial Ballastix 8gb DDR3 1333(?)
I am thinking of buying a cheap $45 dollar RAM stick to test if if is the ram, is this necessary or is it likley to be something else thats wrong?
