Hi,

I finished building my gaming desktop just at the end of summer, and it had been working perfectly fine until recently. I am not sure what happened, but one day, as soon as I opened one of my games, my monitors displayed random colors, and restarted. Even after restarting, when I open a game, I would get the same results, except the color shown on the monitor would be different each time. I've tried all my different steam games, a few browser games, and even minecraft, and yet when opened, the same thing happens everytime. After much investigation, I found that it was a problem with my GeForce GTX 750 graphics card, which I returned to the company and got another one free. Everything was working fine, until I plugged in my plantronics dsp headset. Instantly, midgame, my entire computer froze and restarted again and now my computer has been having the same problem. Is this really caused by just plugging in my headset, or is there something else? Yes, I had been using this plantronics headset ever since I finished building the pc, and there had been no problems for about a month.

Please help,

Maybe your CPU is getting too hot.

Post your complete and detailed build.

What CPU temps are you getting - from bios/uefi? - idle, gaming.
