Well to start things off, I got my computer custom built at cyberpower despite reading some pretty negative reviews about them. Fresh out of the box, the computer began freezing within 20 mins of playing any game. I sent it back and they replaced the CPU and that seemed to do the trick.
It's now been over a year later and the freezing has begun again. I was playing World of Warships earlier today when all of sudden my computer froze and I had to do a hard reboot. However, windows was not starting up. My monitor kept losing video. Even running in safe mode, it eventually lost video or froze within 10 mins. I tried rebooting about 5 times with no luck and sometimes when it crashed it looked like the bios screen was coming up as it said Gigabyte on the top of the screen but then it would lose video.
So I initially thought either my motherboard or cpu were fried. I waited about an hour to try to start it up again and this time it worked. The idle temps were normal and everything seemed fine. Then I waited a little bit and tried to play world of warships again. 10 mins in, I checked the CPU temp and it was close to 60C but about 20 mins later another freeze. I didn't get a chance to look at the temp. However, this time it rebooted fine and did not crash or lose video like before.
Now here I am, trying to find any help on the internet. The 1 year warranty is up so i'm on my own.
Here are my specs:
CPU- AMD FX-9590 4.7ghz
GPU- AMD R9 280x 3GB HIS ICQ Edition
OS- Win 7 64 bit
Coolant- Asetek 570LX 240MM watercooler
Motherboard- Gigabyte GA-990FX-UD3 SLI/Crossover DDR3 SATA3 AM3+
PS- Azza 800W 80 Plus
Let me know if you need any other specs. I can also take a picture of what it looks like inside if that helps at all.
Also, i'm not a big computer wiz so please be as simple as possible...if that makes any sense.
Thanks :sad:
