So, as of yesterday, my pc has crashed twice... kinda. The power LED on the case stays on, but my monitor goes black, then says no input. I built this pc several months ago, and I cheaped out on the motherboard. Is this a screen problem? psu problem? motherboard problem? after the "crash", i manually reset the computer, and it boosts just fine. I don't remember the circumstances of the first crash, but the second time I was downloading a bunch of mods for fallout 3, with maybe 10 chrome tabs open and 10 or 15 tabs for various utilities open at once. specs: i5-4670k at stock, r9 290 at ~1000 mz, some msi h81 mobo, 8gb ddr3 1600 ram.
More about : crashes kinda

Directx and your videocard drivers are crashing
This file {55dce8ba-9dec-4013-937e-adbf9317d990}Gw64.sys is on the hdd somewhere. Have no idea what it is
Altho this stop error 0x116 means Bug Check 0x116: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR
This indicates that an attempt to reset the display driver and recover from a timeout failed.
Some sites say install a later driver
Have a look at this
Even tho it says Nvidia it'd apply to any card that crashes with this stop error

Crashed again, didn't even create a minidump file for me (I may have restarted too fast). Does Windows 8.1 create system restore points automatically? I may try that.
EDIT: My pc claims that some files are missing, and that my installation media will provide these files. Will '"repairing" damage my personal files (game saves especially?)

I am now convinced that it is a faulty chip. I unplugged it, plugged it back in, now it won't even work when I turn on my PC. Time to go have a look at the AMD, Gigabyte or Newegg RMA process.
UPDATE: the card is not recognized as being in the x16 slot. There are no other slots on the board. Is there a way to find out if it is a board error or card error?

I tried that, still had crashes. It seems that I got a card with the elpida memory (not the better hynix stuff), which has been known to have problems. The go-to solution for this problem is to underclock your memory, so I threw a 20% underclock at it, so far no crashes for 2 hours, will report back in 24 hours. mood: cautiously optimistic.
