PC froze and crashed randomly yesterday with green pixelation and distortion and 1 quick beep. Everything works fine when I use my integrated graphics but when I insert and try to use my nvidia card it gets up to the mobo splash screen and restarts itself. I can launch with safe mode but that goes just does the windows startup repair thing and goes on for ages, I stopped trying after 30 minutes. The screen is still distorted while it does that. I didn't change anything on my PC for this to happen, and I've had this card for over a year.
Any help is appreciated!
edit: I should add that over 2 years ago my previous GPU (gtx 770) ended up randomly catching fire one day about 6 months after I built my PC. Since then I haven't had any issues with my new GPU that I got to replace it (gtx 780). Do you think the two incidents may have a connection? Maybe some issue with the pcie slot? Thanks.
specs:
i5 4570 3.4GHZ
GTX 780 WINDFORCE OC 3GB (Gigabyte edition)
8GB 1600MHZ CORSAIR VENGEANCE
CORSAIR CX750M PSU
AsRock Extreme3 z87 Motherboard
Operating on Windows 7
