SPECS:
Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E168111...
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge
Motherboard: MSI z77-G45 1155
RAM: GSKILL Ripjaw Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E168202...
Video Card: nVidia GTX 550
Power Supply: 700w (I'll post more specs later.)
OS:
Windows 7 x64
I built my computer Christmas of 2013, everything ran great. I played Counter Strike about everyday. One day, I went into my video settings and changed the shaders from High to Very High, as soon as I clicked apply, my computer shut down hard.
I went to press the power button and it started up, the monitor didn't turn on. The case fans, cpu fan, graphics card fan, and LED's all turned on.
It seems like when I start the computer, the fans are all going 100%, then they slowly fade and die down until they are barely spinning.
Since the shutdown:
- Pulled every thing out of my case, and put it back in.
- Swapped in a spare 700w power supply I had from my last computer.
- Tried 3 different monitors, just to make sure.
- Ordered and swapped in a new motherboard. (Replaced under warranty.)
- Ordered and swapped in a new processor. (Replaced under warranty.)
- Tried running without my graphics card, and just plugging the monitor into the motherboard.
- Tried running on 1 stick of RAM and also changing the position of the RAM in the slots.
Before I go replacing anything else or tearing my computer apart for the 8th time I just wanted to see you if you guys had any insight or advice for me.
Thanks for your time!
