Hi guys and whatever help you could give me on this bizzare issue would be more than welcome.
Sometimes my monitor will just black out,the cpu fans keep running though.But however its not a monitor or a driver issue at all since not only have i changed graphic cards and updated drivers but when an mp3 is playing in the background and this happens,the mp3 stops playing too.So i assume essentially the computer crashes but there's no restart and the fans keep on running.The only way to get back to normal is to unplug the system and then start it again.
Its not a power supply issue either.The psu can easily support the whole thing.No heating problems either.All temperatures well within limits.No problematic cables too.I have read in a forum that I might have some problem with my motherboard,specifically some burnt IC's.Could that be?
The computer is a 5 year old Pentium D with a Gigabyte motherboard.
