So I've been having PC issues for a while, here's how it would happen (in chronological order)
1. Every now and then, after fresh boot up the screen would turn a solid color, forcing a reboot (1x)
2. Every first boot of the day after a fresh boot up the screen would turn a solid color, forcing a reboot (1x)
3. Every first boot of the day and every time I close a game application, the screen would turn a solid color, forcing a reboot (2x)
4. 2 first boots a day the screen would turn a solid color, and every time I close a game application, the screen would turn a solid color, forcing a reboot (3x)
5 (PRESENT/NOW) 2 first boots a day the screen would turn a solid color, and can't even play games without my frames randomly dropping to 2-3FPS spikes and then sound glitching out, screen eventually turning a solid color forcing a reboot (4x+)
It's gotten past annoying to literally unplayable, so here's what I've done:
- Installed Windows Updates
- NVIDIA Drivers
- RMA'd my graphics card, so GPU shouldn't be an issue - getting a new one anyway
- Tested the following componets:
1. (POWER SUPPLY) BIOS 12v+ rail: GOOD
2. (MEMORY) Windows Memory Diagnostic: GOOD
3. (HARD DISK) Disk Mark: GOOD
4. (PROCESSOR) Prime95: BAD - check below for diagnostic results!
Running prime95, my PC crashed to a BSOD within a minute. Here's the log: "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval. Technical information: *** STOP: 0x00000101 (0x0000000000000031, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFF880009EF180, 0x0000000000000001)"
