hey guys, so yesterday I bought a new motherboard (Asus p8Z77-V), new CPU (i5 3570k) and a new 120gb ssd (ocz vertex 3).
Everything had been running fine, with the exception of the ssd not always being recognised instantly off startup (little red boot device led would light up). But I was playing crysis and wanted to change my GPU settings a little so I increased the memory clock by 50. I started a game up and it instantly black screened with a loud noise coming from speakers.
After restarting the system, it basically froze on my desktop everytime. Not a complete freeze that I would have to retart, I mean like it would be so extremely slow it was almost frozen everytime I clicked something. I restarted once or twice more and it downloaded drivers randomly for my 1tb hard drive. then it seemed to speed up a little bit.
Another thing that would happen is when I click the power button to start up, it will power up then shut off, then power on again. I reset cmos and it seemed to fix the issue, except the problem is that when my motherboard doesn't instantly recognise the boot device it will bring me to a black screen that says click f1 to select boot device. I then have to manually select the SSD and it works. To avoid doing this, I de-selected the option to have to click f1 if an error occurs, instead I wait a secnd or two for the system to recognise it and then it starts automatically. Upon de-selecting the f1 option it did the start, restart, and start again. Does this mean my ssd is faulty ? or can I just re-download windows to it ? But why would an ssd cause the system to restart like that ?
Any help is much appreciated as I am starting to get frustrated
