Hey guys!
I've suddenly gotten an issue with my homemade PC. It started about a week ago out of the blue. My PC suddenly froze completely and I was unable to do anything. My monitor display froze on the same image, all of my leds and fans were still on and spinning but the little light that flickers on and off suddenly stopped. I turned off the switch on my psu and started up my PC again.
This same issue has been going on for a week now and happened close to 20 times now. In only 2 instances of this issue, when I turned my PC back on, the fans started for about a sec and then my PC turned off again. This loop continued for about a minute before it booted up normally. This only happened 2 times but will mention it just in case.
The weird thing is that it freezes while playing games, but also while leaving my PC idle for a couple of minutes. All parts of my PC are about 6 years old now, except for my graphics card (MSI GeForce GTX 970) and my 1TB HDD from Western Digital which I installed merely 6 months ago.
I was thinking about re-installing windows from scrap but I'm not sure if this is a software issue.
I was hoping someone could advise me what to do next or tell me where the probable issue of this problem is.
Thanks in advance!
Other PC specs:
Intel Core i5 - 2500k @ 3.3GHz
MSI P67A-GD65 (MS-7681) motherboard
2x 4Gb RAM ddr3
