first, here are my computer specs:
cpu- I5 3570K(at stock speeds)
mobo- Asus Maximus V gene z77
gpu- EVGA Gtx 660(non ti) ftw signature 2
psu- Corsair ax650 650watt 80 plus gold
ram- Patriot viper 3 8GB @1600
ssd- Kingston hyper x 120GB
os- Windows 7 64bit
Ok now onto my problem. i built this computer over a month ago and its been working fine, playing games like minecraft no prob. I then decided to test my system with something a little tougher, so i poped in battlefield 3 and after abound 3 hrs of playing on ultra my screen froze and battlefield went technicolor on me. so i restarted my system and there were all of these horizontal white lines on my screen as windows booted up then my screen went black and my monitor says no imput. this happens everytime i turn on my computer. it doesnt even let me log in after windows starts it goes blank. Now before any one asks, its not my screen ive tried 3 others and its the same thing. so i figured it had to be my os, but even in my bios the lines are there. so i figure its my graphics card. so i take out the graphics card and i plug my hdmi wire into my igpu and the lines are gone! so i go to log into windows and after the start up screen my monitor goes black again! ive tried several things but nothing seems to work. my computer acts as if nothing is wrong, all my fans spin, nothing is overheating, mobo has post code of A0 which means everything's ok, no sata cables are loose. i figure either my graphics card is defective(which would suck because the first one i bought was bad)or my windows is corrupted(unlikely because i only use this computer for games)or bot of those things. I should mention the RAM im using is supposed t run at 2133 but i haven't gotten around to overclocking it in my bios. I would really appreciate if anyone could suggest things to try or if anyone knows what is happening. Plz help because i don't want to reinstall windows ):
P.S. i don't have another system i can try my graphics card in, and i cant reinstall drivers because i cant get into windows.
