Recently upgrade the motherboard and cpu of my pc with a gtx 770 and has been working fine for a few days. However today my hard drive was making a ticking buzzing ngoise (could be unrelated) andmy screen froze and black screened so i had to restart my pc and worked fine for an hour. However after an hour it froze again but this time after restarting the pc reaches BIOS but then has a blank screen. I then took out the graphics card and used integrated graphics and now it boots fine. Is this likely a completely fried gpu?

Motherboard is an msi z97 gaming 3 and the cpu is an i5 4690k

Edit: put the old gpu back in and works fine now, possibly either the graphics card or another component overheated and needed time to cool down?

I have an OCZ 600w modular psu, also i just edited that the gpu is now working after i put it back in, could this just be an overheating issue, i would be confused if it was as there is plenty of airflow and the asus cooler should be quite effective. I am currently using the card and monitoring the temp.

You are the seond person to assume this. The power supply is OCZ MODXSTREAM pro 80plus semi modular 600w power supply. Also i should say that i have had this power supply for well over half a. Year

Do you think that is definitely the issue, the new cpu i have installed requires much more power than my old cpu so could be the reason it is only just becoming an issue.

Also the sound i am almost certain is coming from my hard drive from sticking my ear next to it.

I got what kind of PSU it is, however that has no bearing what so ever on the fact that it may be going bad. Even the best PSU's money can buy are know to fail from time to time. It may not be, but its worth checking it out, especially if you have repeated the problem with 2 different graphic cards. That tells me the card is not the problem, and time to look elsewhere. The next logical thing to suspect is the PSU. Most better PSU's will have a separate power rail for the GPU, so that rail could be bad and the side that powers everything else is still working fine. Its not uncommon, and worth checking into before you get too far down the road into other things.
