Hey guys!
This is the first time I actually post on any sort of forum but in this case I am completely out of ideas.
I recently did an upgrade of a few components in my system, and now my computer is acting strange. I have listed my new components underneath.
After the upgrade was completed my computer was seemingly fine. It worked well for a few days, but then out of nowhere it started to blue screen with different error messages each time. I figured that maybe windows needed another install to refresh which worked fine for about a day, until it started crashing again.
This is what I know and have tried:
The computer always blue screened while booting up. This varied between 2-3 times each time. It would then come to a point where it was working fine. As if it needed to "warm up." The next day it would do the blue screen scenario again.
This saturday it would not even show anything on screen. And the computer is stuck in a restart loop. I suspected that the power supply I have may not be strong enough, but every fan is working and all components light up. I currently have the 1050 HX by corsair. And it did after all work fine in the beginning.
The strange thing is that I tried to plug the drives out one by one. And all of a sudden my computer was back to how it had previously been with the blue screens. I even plugged all drives back in and it was working, but with the blue screens.
The same restart loop happened today, and I decided to try and move the RAM around and as if by magic it was back to working, but with blue screens. Then now as I am writing this it has got into the restart loop where nothing comes up on screen.
I have tried to reset the BIOS, which fixed a keyboard problem I would get during the blue screens had occurred.
The components I changed was:
Computer Case:
Fractal Design R5
Memory:
2 of Corsair CMX16GX3M2A1333C9 XMS3 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1333 Mhz CL9 Performance Desktop Memory Kit
Added another drive:
WD 4 TB 3.5-inch Internal Hard Drive - Black
CPU Watercooler:
Corsair (CW-9060020-WW) Hydro Series H110i GTX 280mm Extreme Performance All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler
Graphics Card:
"Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Strix Gaming Graphics Card (6 GB, GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0, 3 x Display Port, HDMI, DVI-I, 384-Bit)"
The components I already have:
Motherboard:
Z77A G45 from msi.
My processor is an Intel® Core? i7-2600K Processor.
My processor is the oldest component in the computer, and I did suspect this at one point. But when it suddenly started again I am lost for ideas. It is very temperamental!
Do any of you have any ideas to things I could try? Any help at all is greatly appreciated! I have tried to explain this as best as I can, but do ask me to clarify if something is off.
All the best,
Audun Ase
