Yesterday my computer started showing signs of failure(?).
The screen froze, weird purple cubicles appeared on the screen sometime. When it crashed it said the display driver had crashed, sometimes it would recover itself or it would restart or bsod.
When I woke up today it crashed again but gave a different message, something about windows. So I restarted, and now it won't even boot!
This is what I know:
- Took a memory test, memory seemed fine.
- Took out the GPU this morning, still won't boot. Thought it may be the GPU.
- I have 3 drives (Samsung Evo SSD for booting, WD blue for main stuff, WD green for secondary). Crystaldisk showed nothing wrong with the SSD, but gave caution with 1 of the HDD's (2 of the parameters where yellow, but I can't show you a screenshot of it sadly as it won't boot).
- I see no blown capacitors on either GPU or MB (only noticed a tiny tiny bit of rust or whatever the little dark spot is on 1 or 2 of the MB capacitors)
What could be the problem? Please help! The momemt is very very unfortunate, I need my files. :/
Edit, the specs for what they matter:
* CPU I5 3570k
* MB Asrock Extreme 4
* GPU Asus GTX 770
* RAM Corsair Vengeance Red 8GB
* PSU Corsair RM 850 gold
* Boot drive: Samsung 840 Evo 256 GB, second drive: WD Blue 1TB, third drive: WD green 1TB
