Same test just carried out. No luck unfortunately. I really do appreciate all the help though. This has puzzled me for over a year. I even tried a clean install of windows at one point with no luck. I cannot find a solution anywhere. Absolutely bizarre.

Thats it really other than my monitors. I use PCIe WiFi and my headphones I only plug in when I use them for gaming. Right now I use them for work on my work laptop.

Very lengthy but I got through it haha. I unplugged my keyboard, booted on restarted. Still a hung restart. I then unplugged my mouse, booted and restarted. Hung restart but screen went black as it didnt earlier and just stayed this way for a few mins so I had to force hard power off. Then I...

Just tried your suggestion for clean boot with the above. Still no luck unfortunately. Same thing again.

So doing this it hung on restart for a bit (roughly 15 seconds) and then the screen went black but nothing else. After a few minutes I had to manually restart on the tower again

Thats what I thought too but the thing is I have tested this by ending unecessary processes/services + quiting open applications before restart and it still does this. I even created a restore point and disabled all services and booted into safe mode to see if it still happens. It did still...

I have had an issue for a while now where I restart my PC but my PC never restarts and is stuck on "Restarting". I once left this for about an hour to see if it does restart but no luck. When this happens (for example, after a windows update) I will have to force restart by pressing the restart...

Hi all, Quick update. I can confirm that my GPU failed. I purchased a Gigabyte RTX 2070s and there has been no issues since. Thank you all for the input :)

Yeah haha. I plan for quite an upgrade in the future. I do quite a lot of video processing etc.

My PC specs are: MB: Crosshair V Formula-Z CPU: AMD FX-8350 RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX 32GB (2x16GB) GPU: GeForce GTX 780 3GB PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1600w P2 80+ (PSU was purchased a couple of months ago with plans to upgrade) Both my monitors were doing this at the same time. Yes, that is right. I am...

Hi all So I seem to have come across an issue today. I had booted up my pc to do some video editing/gaming and my pc locked up as soon as I had started editing. It seemed to have frozen with strange colours like artifacts all over both monitors. This required a restart. Upon restart, my pc...

Oh man.. I feel very silly now haha. It makes complete sense though. Thank you everyone for your advice and suggestions. I have reassembled my build with the EVGA 1600w p2 and its working perfectly. I have purchased a powerboard (powerstrip) with individual switches and surge protection so...

Thanks mate. I'll keep you updated. New PSU just arrived. Now to install it

Thank you for that. I have just had a talk with my wife. I am purchasing a power board that has surge protection an an individual on/off switch for each port. That way we can power off anything unnecessary such as lamps, monitors without affecting the PC itself. I appreciate all of you advice...

Highly noted. Haha. Thank you very much for that. I think tonight I am going to unplug my PCIe LEDs (Because they are tacky) and get rid of them and reset CMOS. I know I have a faulty HDD as well so i'll remove my HDDs until I can work out which one it is. Ill then add in my new 1600w p2 80+...
