Hey, so I don't know a lot about computers, but I've been trying to educate myself on some of it and ended up building a computer.
Right down to it, the system I've got is:
CPU: Intel i7 2700k
GPU: ASUS Radeon HD 7770 Ghz Edition
Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth Z77 LGA 1155
RAM: 2x 4GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800
700W PSU
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
annnd a Rosewill Blackhawk case. I have 1 of the fans hooked up to the motherboard on one of the chassis fan slots, and the others that came with the case are just hooked to the power supply.
Now for the issue:
Something seems to be tripping the heat sensor and shutting off the system prematurely. Whenever I have the graphics card in it will only run for maybe 2-3 minutes doing basic tasks, i.e. browsing the internet or install programs. And on top of that what's being shown as 1080p looks a little too murky, I guess would be the word to describe it, to be 1080p.
If I rely completely on intel's integrated graphics it runs fine, but the 1080p still has that 'not quite 1080p' feel to it, but that seems less surprising. I'm not really sure if I'm properly describing this issue with I'm having but the system shutting down after a minute seems like the more pressing matter.
What I've tried: Basically nothing but there's some things that I feel are important to put down here.
In the motherboard's manual, and when you see the schematic of the motherboard for the first time, the PCIe slots are all mislabeled. So I first had the graphics card in an under powered slot for a while. I'm not sure if that would affect it but it seems like pertinent info.
Any help is much appreciated, and if any extra info is needed (I'm sure there will be) I should be able to provide it. Go easy on me though, I'm still pretty much fresh off the boat.
Edit: I forgot to mention, the drive I'm running everything on right now is a 256GB Crucial M4 SSD.
