I built this computer about 2 years ago and am now having hardware problems with it. I am having difficulty tracking down the exact problem. My setup: ASRock 870 mobo, Phenom II x4, Sapphire 5850, 8gb DDR3 ram, Samsung 1TB drive, OCZ 700w PSU.
The problem I am having is that my computer will randomly restart when I start playing any game that puts stress on my video card. Sometimes I get a blue screen, some times not. If I do, it tells me I have a Page Fault in Non Page Area or that my drivers are bad. I wiped the hard drive thinking I was having hard drive issues and the problem persists. I wiped drivers and re-installed them to no avail. I ran a chkdsk with a repair which has not helped. I moved my video card from its orginal PCI-E slot to the unused one and that has not worked either. Is my video card going bad? Or is my PSU not sending enough power to it?
(also on a side note, my disk drive for whatever reason now will not stay open and I can not access it from My Computer. My Device Manager recognizes the disk drive but when I uninstalled and re-installed it, nothing worked.)
