Hey, I browsed a few forums to find a solution but I came up with more questions than before, I've found similar problems but not quite the same and I want to be sure before I start making drastic decisions.
I recently had been having issues with gaming on my pc, when I play more than average demanding games like the Witcher 3, My monitors would turn off after 10-15 minutes of playing. However, if I Alt-Tab out of the game, my screens turn back on and I can even continue playing for 10-15 minutes before they turn off again. I did several stress tests with Furmark and my GPU never went above 65 degrees C. also when gaming it never goes above 60 degrees C.
I let the streess test go on for about 45 minutes and my monitors didn't turn off.
The similar problems to mine all suggest that the graphics card or the PSU are failing.
Another problem I've been having is that my computer won't ever boot from the first time. I have to turn it on and off several times but I never hear a beep coming from the motherboard. I built the PC myself and I'm having the issue since the start.
My computer would run all the fans but nothing would come on the screen. Sometimes it even shuts itself down. I thought it was the RAM at first because I saw a similar case like this in school but it didn't work ( now I use 32GB RAM )
Whenever it does start after 3-6 times trying, it runs completely fine.
Specs: ( nothing is overclocked or messed around with )
CPU: Intel core i5 4460 3.2GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 960 4GB (MSI)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5
PSU: Corsair CX750M
Sorry for the long post but I tried to give as much info as I could
