Problem description:
ive been having a stupid ammount of problems with this pc especially in the past 4-6 months. the root to all of it seems to always be the same, because it always does one of these 2 things:
case 1: it wont start up, literally, it gives a 1 long BEEP then 3 short BEEPs, which forces me to open it up and break apart, then after "rebuilding" it seems to work (sometimes it requires more than 1 rebuild)
case 2: it starts and then regular windows doesnt work, i have to use it in safe mode (which seems perfectly stable, never really had an issue in that mode). if i try to use it in regular mode it does one of several things:
A) does not complete the start up: either freezes on windows loading logo, or freezes after it (in the screen where you pick the pc user) or i manages to actually start up then freezes in 1 to 5 minutes.
B) starts up then the screen dies and i cant do anything, or it starts going down and up (with nVidia driver message) or it goes black then auto-restarts the pc
C) starts up and doesnt give any problems as long as it is idle, then as soon as i try to use it (be it trivial like opening chrome or heavy like opening AC3 on max settings) starts freezing (see point B issues).
i had to literally restarts the pc twice just to write this post.
EDIT: i am inclined to believe the culprits are either the GPU or PSU since safe mode works fine and same goes for "normal mode" with disabled GPU, as in basic graphic mode that windows provides.
EDIT2: after a full 6 hours of restart and freeze before windows starting i opened safe mode and uninstalled all GPU drivers, then installed the latest version, after which it will let me enter windows normal mode but with no stability whatsoever (see points B and C)
