Good day ,
First of all thank you in advance for reading this and your time , I hope i can get a solution on this issue that has been bugging me for almost a year.
My PC current specs are : -
Windows 7 64 bit
6GB ddr3 ram
Amd Phenom x3 720
Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P
Gefore gt220
RS460-PSAR-13 ( Recent purchase to replace another PSU which is 500w but not a cheaper brand )
Symptom :-
I've been having this random crashes / Black screen ( sound still comes out but no display ) / BSOD from time to time ( during gaming time , after i exit a game , normal usage like watching movie or even browsing any websites ) .
Each time i had to hard restart the pc , and at times during restart , there will be a specific beep ( 3 beeps to be preicse , a long beep , small pause, 2 short one ( but fast ) ) coming out from the mobo and then the computer will continue to load but there will be no display coming out from the monitor .
At first i thought it was the PSU which was the issue , so i replace the old with a new one ( RS460-PSAR-13 ) . But after one or two month the same thing happened again.
My current workaround :-
Usually what i did was remove the DVI-A Male cable , press the start button ( to shut down the pc normally ) . Wait for a few minutes, plug in the cable back and turn on the PC( hoping the PC will start normally instead of the beeping sound coming out again and i have to restart the whole process ) . Getting tired of doing this
Additional advice needed :-
Please also advice should i or could i still replace my GPU . its a PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIE_16) (The PCI Express x16 slot conforms to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)
not sure if i can still replace this with the latest models of GPU as I have bought this pc for some time. ** Thank you for your help and assistance.
