Hello all,
Recently I have been so feed up with my pc that im about to throw it out of a window. First off im going to put down my pc specs
Intel I5 6600
Asrock h170m pro4
2 4 gig sticks of G.Skill ripjaws V 2133 ram
EVGA GTX 960 SSC
EVGA 500B power supply
Crucial M500 240 gig SSD
Hitachi 500 gig 5400rpm 2.5 Hard drive (Grabbed it out of a old laptop)
Phanteks p400 case
Alright to the problems
1) Will resume the computer from sleep the computer fans will ramp up and down and nothing will display on the screen, I will then need to turn off power to the power supply and restart the computer. Where it will then work properly. I then looked in the error log and it showed multiple hardware errors and windows stopped working.
2) Sometimes like the problem above I will put the computer on sleep and the computer will then restart (by its self) when trying to resume from sleep.
3) I will start up my computer from shutoff, will proceed to the home start screen where pixeled boxes make lines diagonally on the screen, I will then try to open up another page and the same thing will happen on the page. I then restart the computer and its fine again.
What I have done to try to fix the problem
2 passes of memtest showed ram with no errors
updated bios
updated graphics drivers
cleaned off all graphics drivers and fresh installed the newest drivers
Clean the gpu and cpu, both run at good temps
Clean install windows 2 or 3 times
The computer works great most of the time but these problems are so random that you think whatever you did last time got rid of them. But then NOPE there they are again. Im thinking it is the graphics card since most of these are graphical problems. I have talked to EVGA and they offered a rma but I would like a 2nd opinion before I spend money shipping it to them. Also if anyone could let me know how to tell what the hardware error is in event log, if there are number keywords or something.
Any help or opinion on what I should do would be greatly appreciated
