Hello, my problem is incredibly frustrating and I have tried everything to fix it. i am going to start off by telling you that I live in Africa so I do not have access to new items as readily as some.
I built my first computer about 4 months ago from all brand new items from Amazon but immediately started having problems with it. First, it constantly said in my BIOS that my cpu was idling at 70C, I ignored this as a sensor error. It then started having a problem with about 1/2 of the games I play where it crashes and both screens go blank, I then have to restart the PC. The second one is when the screen goes white and a buzzing comes out of the speakers, I then have to shut it down (tried leaving for 10 min, but it continued). I think of myself as very technologically adept but I have tried everything and I cannot figure it out. I have also looked on every forum I could find and did everything the said to. For example I:
Ran Memtests on both my RAM Sticks (turned up with nothing)
Ran CPU Load Tests (Normal)
Tried cleaning and reapplying thermal paste on CPU (Stock Fan)
Tried re-installing all drivers and even tried re-installing operating system on 2 separate occasions.
Tried reconnecting and securing wires.
Tried using different power connector for PCI-E GPU
I have even downgraded my GPU driver to see if that makes the crashes less frequent.
Every single one of these has done absolutely nothing to solve my problem so I am hoping that one of you can help me out.
Just for reference, My full System specs are
MSI ATX DDR3 2400 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97 PC MATE
Intel 4790k 4.00 GHz processor (with stock CPU fan)
16 GB RAM Corsair Vengeance (2x8GB sticks)
EVGA GTX 660 Ti 3GB Superclocked GPU (not overclocking it)
WD Blue 1TB HDD 7200 RPM
Corsair CX750 PSU
NZXT Guardian Case
Also, this is my first forum post so please correct me if I post incorrectly.
Thank you so much for your help!
