hi guys,
i previously posted an issue with my pc, http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/hardware-clinic-2/gta-v-monitor-suddenly-switches-off-pc-went-into-restart-loop-5064167.html
pc specs are on the right>> fast forward to now, i havent been playing any games already, not even gta v. uninstalled it already. since then, i haven't face any sudden black screen issue. i've been consistently monitoring my gpu temp via hwmonitor, and i notice my temp runs randomly to 50deg max, sometimes when im not watching video too. i personally think it's fine and still acceptable, so didnt pay much attention to it.
but just now, im not sure why it happened like that, but my friend pasted me an hotels.com link on fb; i clicked it, chrome loads it, suddenly my pc hangs (but i still can hear the fb msg sound in the background), after that monitor went black, no signal. link is legit btw! i was surfing around quite a bit as well. Had to force restart it. And not sure if it's linked, but after the force restart, from the Windows welcome screen, it now takes about like 3-5s more before it boots into desktop..
was just wondering if anyone faced this issue before. im not sure if it's a psu or gpu issue, because it suddenly happened, didnt happen for like a month or so. now everything seems ok. my rig is about like 3 years old now. no overclocking on gpu. never tried reseating ram/switching cable to motherboard though because im afraid i'll end up creating a bigger problem
and one last thing! assuming i decide to change psu/gpu, is it just a plug-and-play thing?
thanks all!
