Perhaps the knowledge of some of you can help lead me to the potential causes of the problems I am experiencing
Near the end of last year I purchased a new PC. If you look over my past post history it should link you to the parts I purchased for those interested.
The first HD I purchased was bad and had to be replaced.
Anyways, fast forward a month or two and I have been having this problem since about october or so. (I know bad me for not asking for help sooner).
Onto the symptoms!
When I power the machine on it will boot up but it will not display an image to my monitor. The new habitual way of booting up my machine is this:
Turn on > Wait 2-3 seconds > Press reset > Machine actually boots. (Not sure if PSU is not pushing enough for the computer or what. But again the machine does sound like it boots fully (I will be removing the side of my case today before booting to see if my GFX is actually receiving power and booting on first power)).
I also experience random black screen freezing. It seems to only happen when actively using the PC which leads me to believe my GFX is bad but it will happen during any of these events: Playing a game, watching a video, trying to stream, trying to record, and rarely while just browsing the web. Both of my monitors will just turn black and the computer will freeze.
If anyone out there could try to help me diagnose this issue I would be very grateful.
Thanks!
As an addendum: I am only currently running dual SSD's if this makes any difference. That is the only change from the parts I currently own.
