Specs
Windows 7 home (also did it under Windows 10)
AMD FX8120
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 R5
Ballistix
XFX radeon 4870 ( also did it with XFX HD6950 X2 in Crossfire)
WD Green drives, added an SSD samsung
Ultra 1000W PS
Never overclocked. Not running any auto overclocking software.
When it first started, I had Windows 10 and the HD6950s. At random, it would crash to a black screen, GPU fan would go to max speed. I could be on EBay, checking emails, or reading FB. Never had it crash when in a game. It would crash if I wasn't even on. Id walk away, computer would shut monitor down, hour or so later Id hear the GPU fan at max.
It did it enough times to mess up something in Windows. I tried to let Windows check disk, or go through disk repair. It would load Win10 and about 20-30 seconds crash. Black screen and no response from the keyboard (num lock on/off). I tried restore point, reinstall Windows and save files, and reinstall Windows and erase files. It crashed so many times I thought the HDD was bad so I installed a new SSD.
I have Win7 home. Installed WIn7 on SSD. After a few hundred updates, all seemed well. Noticed a few things seemed slower. Hangs on trying to close IE, wont let me install PC pitstop, and a few other items I had.
Went to check email, and crash to black screen, GPU fan at max. I had my older vid card in this time. thinking it was a bad vid card.
Any ideas? Im ready to throw this thing against a wall.
