Hi,
I've had a custom built system with the following specs for several years now:
CPU: Intel i5-3470
Motherboard: MSI B75MA-P45
RAM: Corsair Vengeance (2x4GB)
HDD: WD Caviar Black
PSU: Corsair ATX 700W 80+ Bronze Certified
GPU: Nvidia EVGA GTX 660
However my GPU recently broke; I sent it in for RMA and received an EVGA GTX 960 FTW. While waiting for my replacement to come back, I uninstalled the Nvidia drivers, put in a Radeon XFX HD 7770 1GB, and installed the appropriate AMD drivers. Then I uninstalled the AMD drivers when my replacement came back, installed the EVGA GTX 960 FTW and installed the appropriate Nvidia drivers. Since then, I've had this issue:
After using my computer for only about an hour or so (sometimes playing games, sometimes not) my display dies, the sound continues in the background, and my monitor reads "no signal".
I've read that this might be a driver issue, and that I may have a physical memory leak due to conflicting drivers, causing my display to crash.
Any suggestions? All help is appreciated!
P.S. I'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to technological things, and would appreciate basic explanations. Thanks!
