Hello there, I was linked to this site via looking for a solution to this problem, despite being unknown, I hope you can help me!
About 2 months ago, my computer blackscreens -> reboot/windows.
It is not a virus, I have concluded that.
I installed EVGA Precision to monitor Graphics card temp, and it crashes even with it hovering around 49-54C.
I brought it into the place I bought it, and they said they cleaned out the heatsink, and checked the temp of all running components and said everything seemed fine, the same day I get home and run a virus scan + 2 hours of video compiling (sony vegas), it crashes.
I can leave it idle forever and it will not crash, its only after I use any program which uses up a lot of my CPU power.
From what I have read on this website, I have come down to it either;
A) Something I installed that changed my bios settings that either increased overclock, or lowered the temp at which my computer shuts down to save itself.
B) My power supply cannot maintain high amounts of draw for long periods of time (burnt out?)
Am I right in these assumptions?
Any help is much appreciated, I have been trying to fix this for about 3 weeks now that I cant take it rebooting anymore =(
PS: I also bought 2 new ram 2 gig sticks a week ago thinking maybe the ram had burnt out from being too hot, but that isnt the problem.
