Okay my PC has been giving me a headache for 2 months now and i'm not sure exactly what the issue is. This is a PC I built 2 years ago come march.
These are the specs of my PC:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460
Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC Mate
GPU: Geforce GTX 980 Ti
Power Supply: Corsair CX600M
Storage: Western Digital 2T HDD / Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
Memory: G.Skill Rip Jaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB)
Okay so the problem first started about a month ago I would be gaming and all of a sudden the screen shuts off, computer still running though but when i go to turn on the monitor it says no signal. I then hit the reset button on my pc it would reset sometimes others i would have to hold the power button to turn it off then again to turn it on. Anyways once it turned back on the resolution was off and I got an error saying, Display driver failed to start using Microsoft Basic Display Driver. I figured downloading the latest driver for my GPU would help so I pull up Geforce Experience and it says latest drivers are already installed. I then go onto the Nvidia website to download the driver and it worked.
Ok so driver is now downloaded and pc is up and running fine, 2 days later same problem occurs and the solution I did last time only helped for an hour or two until it crapped out again. Another problem I like to point out is my GPU has writing on the side that reads Windforce that lights up when the fans are on and when the aren't on it has lights to the side that read silent. When I would game normally the Windforce would be lit up and everything's working flawlessly, however when the problem occurs I'd be gaming and the Windorce logo isn't lit and the silent lights were and the game would be laggy and then the display driver failed error would happen again.
Now fast forward to today and the computer doesn't turn on. I hit the power button and I hear it running silently but no fans moving or picture it's as if its off I believe this is what you'd call a dead computer.
Someone please help me find the issue I don't know if it's worth fixing this system or just building another PC.
