I thought my GPU had gone toasted. But I pulled out the EVGA GTX 680 2GB and put in the EVGA GTX 560 and the problem persists.
Right now I am installing windows 7 a second time today. (First time in a year). I did the reinstall to eliminate any software corruption. I did all the system cd installs, and when I got to the nvidia driver I the screen was shutting off and on, I rebooted threw in the GTX 560 and got a bsod, so I went into safemode w/networking and it froze on something there that made me remember that one of my HD's wasn't showing up!! so I unplugged it, which caused my ssd not to boot..
So heres a start:
Computer was bought second hand on craigs August 2013.
AMD FX 8350 @ 4.0 liquid cooled
EVGA GTX 560 1gb (EVGA GTX 680 2gb)
970A-UD3
16gb sniper Gskillz ram (Wrong timings, and not 1866mhz.)
*Okay, I think I'm going to say its the GTX 680 that went bad. I got the 560 in the x16 slot and its rebooting fine, I will throw my ram back in and plug in my other hd's to confirm.
**OKAY, glad I didn't do that yet. I went to shutdown and noticed there was updates, so I let them install and restarted without changing anything. I got a bsod, so I figured that I would just let it restart a few times, on the 3rd attempt it booted into windows.
I don't even want to think about that poor GTX 680. I double checked all the sata cords, and removed the ones not being used since I took out the 2 never used hard disks that I had, the 1tb and 500gb WD Black / Seagate Barracuda. So I guess the next thing is the CPU as Justin pointed out it. This is a newer chip that I installed when I got back home in November, I'm sure its solid but I will remove it and throw the FX 6200 as I have some more thermal compound here.
