Good Afternoon!
I've been over a few of the stickies and some other #solved threads, but I need a little advice from the community here.
I recently started experiencing my screen go black when gaming, which then turned into a freeze while idle, in bios, before start up.. just randomly. I went through all the regular motions that I could, until the freezes came so quick that I barely had time to run any tests. Much prior to this event, I was experiencing display adapter errors.
I think I've ruled out the RAM, as I have changed them out with other sticks, used one at a time, switched them around, etc - Problem persisted.
I think I've ruled out the HDD because I've disconnected it and the freeze still came about on the 'select boot' prompt.
I have now removed the GPU and am running onboard graphics for the last 3 hours without an issue... So I think I may have also ruled out the CPU?
I would love some help in which direction to go in now.. in order to rule out either the PSU, Mobo or GPU as the source of the problem... Do I have a dying GPU? Are my PCI-e slots fudged? Is my PSU old and dying?
Much thanks!
