Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the art of PC building so it's probably something really obvious but I just can seem to work it out.
Recently I did a few upgrades. I got a XFX Radeon 6790 refurb and 2×4gb g.skill cards, installed them and every thing was fine after a few days heavy use. However, last night while playing BioShock Infinite my PC suddenly when to a black screen, the monitor switched off and the graphics card fan started running at full speed. I gave it a rest and came back later to try it again. This time it did it again when I was just in chrome. Now after a night of no use when I turn it on it makes a strange beep, the monitor doesn't wake and after a little while the fans speed up again. I have had no issues with the gfx card for the past week or so but the new RAM I only put in a few days ago.
If anyone can shed any light on what it might be or what needs upgrading it would be treaty appreciated.
