Hello, I', having troubles with a new pc I've bought a few months back. Ever since I bought and installed it, it's been giving the same error.
''Display driver had stopped responding and has recovered''
This happens after the screen freezes for a second, then the screen turns into a random color and then I get that error message. Also, when the pc is on for a while this either tends to not happen at all, or happen like once every minute.
And then all of I sudden my computer shuts itself down. If I try to boot again the screen just remains black, though everything inside my computer is running. After a few seconds, my computer auto-shuts down again only to auto-start up a few seconds later with the same effects.
This to me sounds like overheating, but when I feel my GPU it's just a bit warm. The only other thing I can think of is my CPU, but that thing has a huge fan on top of it and usually my CPU doesn't have to run above 20%. But the funny thing is, despite everything running, my motherboard's lights don't turn on.
My specs:
- Asus Xtreme x58 Motherboeard
- ATI RADEON HD 5750 GPU
- 4gb RAM
- Intel quadcore i7 @2.9
I don't remember the name of my PSU, but I know it is well above what my computer demands. I have the extra power pin inserted into my GPU.
But my motherboard itself isn't very great. A few of it's pins connecting to the CPU have been broken, so I'm wondering if this might be causing this.
Also, the lock on my PCIe slot is broken so my GPU isn't 'locked'. But the same problems seem to persist if I hook up my GPU to my second GPU slot, which has a working lock.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking of buying a new mobo (probably the same one) to see if the same errors persist when I have a fully functioning motherboard
