Last night, I experienced the dreadful blue screen of death while gaming. I immediately hopped on YouTube, and started tested the CPU, GPU, and RAM. I couldn't find any issues. The only thing that didn't work after the blue screen was the graphics card, but after switching off and on the power supply, I was able to get it to work.
Naturally, I suspected the graphics card was the cause of the issue. I messed around with it, taking it out and reinstalling it snuggly. However, I'm not convinced. I realized that it was the first time I had been running my tv, playsation, and computer at the same time, so now I'm wondering it the power supply wasn't able to draw enough power. Yes, I realize it's dumb to run every electronic I own off of one outlet. I'm working on solving that issue. Anyways, I guess my question is, is this a possible explanation?
I haven't put my theory to the test, because I don't want to cause any damage. Although, I haven't had the BOD today. I played The Forest on max setting for about 45 minutes, and had no issues.
Any thoughts?
