A few hours ago I was a playing a game (SW:TOR) when suddenly the screen started going through some extreme tearing, then went black for about a minute, but the game was still running in the background as I could hear everything. Then everything went back to normal for about 15 seconds. The screen was fine and I could run around and play as normal, then the screen went black again and my PC rebooted.
At the reboot and startup screens I experienced the same graphical tearing. Now, I can't get past the Windows loading point. The screen just goes black and reboots again. Occasionally I'll get hit with a BSOD before this happens. Since I can't even load Windows this makes me think the problem might be more than the GPU.
Specs:
AMD Phenom II Quad Core 945 3.00Ghz
GPU: GTX 460
RAM: Ripsaw 2GB DDR3 (originally was 4GB, had to remove a corrupt stick)
PSU: Corsair 750w
Motherboard: M4A87TD Asus
Windows Vista Business 32bit
This PC was put together in 2010, with the exception of the PSU which I bought last year. The MOBO has no integrated GPU so I can't test that.
So what do you guys think? Thanks in advance.
