Hey guys,
I'm turning to you guys because I've had enough of my PC and I feel like I'm about to throw it out the window!
The problem: On start up mostly, when coming back from sleep mode and even at random times my computer crashes. Every time it crashes, it's a different error and there isn't anything consistent that I can see that I'm doing that causes it.
Random stuff keeps happening like I can't update windows 8 at all, all my icons are gone from the start menu all of a sudden. The "search" function doesn't work in windows or in the windows explorer. I could be playing a game one week for hours, next week it just starts crashing randomly. At one point, it seems like my whole registry was wiped or reset (as software I had trials for restarted the counter...). My monitor doesn't turn on until the digital input from Windows, so I see no splash screen or BIOS or anything until Windows (I have only one graphics card).
I have checked on two anti-virus applications and my computer comes up clean both time with a complete scan.
Where do I start and how do I fix this? I bought this computer in parts a year ago and paid a local shop to assemble it for me. At this point, I'm convinced it's a hardware issue. But I have no idea where to start. Specs are below. You guys are amazing if we can fix this...thanks so much!
