Hey, so I assembled new PC recently - specs:
-i5 6600
-8GB 2133Mhz RAM
-R9 270X GPU (from old comp, buying GTX 1080 soon)
-MSI B150M BAZOOKA mobo
-CX600 Corsair PSU
I was gaming without any problems for like one month then suddenly I got gray screen of death one day with vertical stripes on lcd. I found out it could be GPU driver problem so I deleted the old one and installed new ones. Everything worked for 2/3 days when suddenly, while I was playing Far Cry 4, I got black screen of death with last sound caught in loop and pc becoming unresponsive. Immideately after that I huit reset button and everything worked fine.
Now, my concernes are both GPU and PSU, could it be that one of them is failing?
I did paperclip test on PSU with only fan spinning and it showed voltages like this:
-YELLOW +11.8v but when I retested it while my PC was on (booted in windows etc.) it showed +12.05v
-RED +5.3v but with PC on it was +5.1v
-ORANGE +3.3v - now I can't measure it when comp is on since no orange wire is free so I can perform test
-BLUE -16.7v (on paperclip test) while I know it should be arround -12v / obviously I couln't have measured this either while PC was on
So, my question is, do you think there is any problem with my PSU or should I put the blames on my GPU instead?
