Screen goes black randomly?
Hey at random times my screen goes completely black for a few seconds, this is bad because if it happens during a game it can get me killed >.<

I have a dell 24inch monitor 1080p 5ms, heres my build : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JQkM4D

Ive also had my computer randomly crashing and saying error, sorry about this with a blue screen then it restarts my computer. Then it goes to a black screen and says "insert boot media and press any key".. Not sure whats that about. This is newly built rig in August and just now started having these few hiccups. Please help thanks.

Reg HDD, "packing in" means breaking or dying. To be honest could be either mostly likely your HDD but could be your SDD tho the "insert boot media and press any key" message normally means either it cant boot off OS drive either because it not working or some reason its trying to boot off you data driver either way sounds way too much like a HDD/SDD issue. Its just a matter of finding out which best bet would be to unplug your data drive and only use your OS drive if computer turns on fine its your data drive if it does not its your OS driver hope this helps :)  I am betting on it being your OS sorry :(

Sounds like your harddrive is packing in get yourself a cheap one to find out if that is the case:(
