Hi everyone;
Allow me to explain what happened.This is not a new build, had worked fine for 4 months. A few days ago, I came back to my pc which i had left on to find that there was no signal to the monitor (the fans were spinning). After restarting the pc, everything was fine I was able to play and watch videos, etc.. Next day, when trying to power on the pc, the fans would go on, but I got no signal to monitor, and there was no POST beep (the motherboard always does this). After unplugging it, it was once more fine. Finally, the next day, the pc would not POST, so i decided to check the cables and make sure everything was hooked up correctly. After taking it apart, cleaning it (it was hardly dirty) and putting it back together, the PC started fine, but when I logged on to windows, the following happened:
1-Mouse lag or Stutter
2-Games that had 60fps previously now were at 12-40. Textures taking FOREVER to load.
3-Videos would stutter or freeze momentarily.
I tried using the IGP and everything seemed fine, though i was not able to play anything with it so i cant say about FPS.Tested RAM on another machine and with memtest and it was good. Intel HW monitor said all voltages were fine. As did speccy. I swapped out the mobo and cpu for an even older one i had lying around, will know how that works when i get home later today when im done reinstalling stuff. This should tell me if it was the previous mobo or cpu. Assuming it still causes issues, what would you guys think it was, GPU or PSU? Sorry for long post.
my specs:
i3-550
intel dh55tc mobo
8GB kvr1333 kingston value (4gb+2gb+2gb)
Evga 600b PSU
Evga gtx960 sc
2x Seagate 500gb SATA
