Hello guys and girls. First time poster here.
I got a PC last year.
Specs:
17 6700k currently @ 4ghz
32g 2100 DDR4RAM
Mobo: z170A Gaming M5
MSI GTX 980ti 6gb
PSU Gold 600w ... cant rememebr hte brand right now >.<
2 monitors. One 4k, the other regular 1080p.
250g Samsung Evo 850 SSD - WIndows 10
2t HDD
I purchased the PC from the Australian PC store, PC Case gear, they are in another state so it was sent to me. I had it for 30 hours before it died and the GPU literally caught fire and smoked. I sent it back and 3 weeks later (Slow turn around) they sent it back to me 'fixed' all they did was replace the GPU claiming it was a bad unit and apologised.
About 2 weeks later I was playing a game, Shadow of Mordor on probably max settings and it froze, the whole PC froze forcing me to shut it down via the button.
Ever since, every now and then under load it crashes.
I have yet to send it back because the turn around is annoyingly long as I use this PC for editing for work.
I have ran memtest86, total of about 7 passes and no errors so far.
I check the temps of the GPU and CPU and they seem to be fine. GPU never really breaking 75 degrees (Celcius)
I have tried to replicate the freezing when while having the temp monitors open so i can truly see the temps but no luck so far.
I am not a PC expert, I am learning still. When it freezes i am not OCing it in any way.
I need some good advice because sending it back is a real pain. I'd love to fix it myself.
Thanks guys and girls.
