This homebuilt system isn't running too well these days. Here are some of the major problems I've been having...
- Video feed randomly cuts out (this occurs once every few hours, not necessarily while it's under load/stress)
- Computer won't get to BIOS, instead comes up with an error (I'll try to find the exact error details). It would do this until I re-sat the RAM modules, which would seem to prevent the error from occurring for a few hours/days.
- Recently, when I try to boot up the PC, all I get is a thin, flashing white line in the upper-left corner of my screen. It never gets to the BIOS.
I've tried clearing the CMOS and reseating the RAM. I've only re-sat the video card a few times.
Specs are as follows:
Raidmax Azetc M-ATX Case
MSI 870A-G55 AM3 motherboard
EVGA GTX470 SuperClocked
- I installed a Zalman VF3000F after-market cooler on it, which is hooked up directly to the power supply
HEC X-Power Pro 600W Power Supply
AMD Phenom II X2 555 3.2GHz CPU
Crucial RealSSD C300 (Win7)
Western Digital Caviar Blue 320GB 7200RPM SATA III HDD
G.Skill Ripjaws 4gb (2x2) DDR3 1600MHz (running at 1333MHz)
ANY feedback or help would be extremely appreciated. This is a rig I build for a relative, so I feel personally responsible for how it's running.
If it seems like something is dead/malfunctioning and needs to be RMA'd, I'd like to know about it and make it happen as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for any help.
