Hello,
I have been experiencing graphical glitches when I go into a game and my graphics card goes into 100% usage. I very highly doubt it's a problem with the gpu though, temperature is fine and I didn't mess with anything related to it. Also, the glitches are everywhere, when I tab out it continues on the desktop, sometimes it slows down and sometimes it gets worse and the screen black out, followed by nothing happening.
This morning it started happening without a game open. In fact, with almost nothing open.
One time this happened it followed up with a Windows screen saying that something went wrong with the following error Code: MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. Then weird things happened, like freezes where nothing but the mouse respond.
The last time it happened it seems to have damaged my hard disk and my pc isn't starting up anymore.
Attempting to system restore gives me an error saying that my hard drive is corrupted.
In my mind it's either the PSU or the Hard Drive.
My rig is 1 year old, on very heavy use though. I have a Corsair CX600M PSU and a WD blue HDD, which I believe I bought used.
PSU is 600W, I have an r9 290, i5 4670k, 2 sticks of 4GB of RAM each.(Roughly 450W using a calculator)
Is it possible my PSU degraded to the point where it doesn't supply enough power?
Did it fry my HDD? Was the HDD the problem in the first place and the PSU has nothing to do with it?
Even if you can't tell for sure, just tell me what is more likely so I can replace that part first. I don't have spare parts for troubleshooting.
All the help is appreciated.
