Hey,
So my homebuilt PC was going strong for a month or two until the video card broke. I sent it in for repairs, and everything was working fine. Now I have another problem. About two weeks ago, I started getting BSOD's, the computer would randomly freeze, and sometimes the screen would just go blank (but the computer would stay on). I thought I had fixed it, until it happened again a few days later.
When I was having problems, sometimes I would try to turn on the computer and it would turn on for a second or two, turn off, then turn back on (sometimes nothing would appear on the screen and other times it would work fine).
Five minutes ago, for example, I tried to turn the computer on and nothing appeared on the screen. Now, I tried turning it on and everything worked fine.
One thing I've noticed is that it seems to BSOD most when I'm watching a flash video or using SyncBack SE to do network file transfers. That could just be a coincidence though.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
