First of all, sorry if I'm doing this all wrong, this is my first post.
Anyway, I have a big problem with my homebuilt PC. I have had it since May 2012. It has recently started crashing every time I try to play a game. Without any warning, the screen goes black, my fans turn up a LOT (I am pretty sure this problem has nothing with temperature to do, got watercooling, and I manually adjust my GPU fan when I play games), but the audio (E.G spotify and such) still keeps on going. It keeps going for half a minute or so, and then it all shuts down. To restart my computer I have to hold the power button for a few seconds, then turn it back on. I do not get a bluescreen, but BOTH of my monitors shuts off, and say that they are getting no signal.
I have searched around, and many people suggest to do a memory test with "Memtest86+", although I'm having some problems running this, as I am on Windows 7 64bit.
My specs are:
CPU: AMD FX-8150 8-core @ 3.6GHz
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 7870
PSU: Cooler Master 750W ( I can find the full name IF NEEDED)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4x4GB sticks (16GB, 1600MHz)
I have one SSD with windows and some random programs, and a 2TB HDD with everything else.
I also do have closed watercooling to my CPU, which is why I doubt that temperature is the problem.
