Hello, I just built my first rig yesterday. It's all looking good until I started play BF3. I played for 2-3 hours then I crashed. but after I restart my computer my screen go black. I have to plug my monitor VGA to Motherboard instead.
I also smell something burn just after the crash.
Now I have 2 suspects.
1. the VGA to DVI adaptor that I used.
2.The Graphic card Gigabyte GTX660 OC.
I'm not sure what caused this please help me.
