My computer witnessed about 8 continuous power outages, each about 5 minutes apart from each other. They were quick, only about 5 seconds long before the power came back on. Every outage, my computer would turn back on no problem, except after one of the last ones, I booted the computer and...

You would see about a 2-7 fps decrease if you ran 2 monitor, but 2 monitors on your build should be just fine. The Gtx 760 has enough power to run 3 1080p monitors just fine on high settings in games so I don't see why 2 monitors would kill your computer.

I would recommend gettting this cpu cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099 Though, the temps are pretty high, AMD always runs hotter than intel but 40-45 degrees would be normal on idle. 55-58?? Thats pretty high. Download SpeedFan and see if you can up the fan...

Try going a little lower and see if it stops. Some times when overclocking a little over the max can cause your pc to crash.

I recommend getting the AMD one if you are planning to do video editing because the APU integreated graphics smoke intel's integreated graphics. If you are also planning on playing some games from the windows store the AMD is still the better choice. But if your the multitasking kind of guy...

Your graphics card is the problem. If there is "NO" display what so ever then its a problem. Since you have an intel cpu I recommend taking out the graphics card and plug the vga/hdmi/dvi whatever into the motherboard.

Your cpu cooler needs some help. Must be going out. I recommend getting a new cpu cooler and see if the temperatures drop. The Hyper Evo is pretty good and I've heard great things about it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099

Integrated graphics are always bad anyway. Windows performance isn't always accurate since it's not even in newer builds of windows, but just because it says its bad doesn't mean the graphics are "That bad". Your computer's fine and it's gonna run like it should.

Could be a problem with your power supply not supplying enough power to your motherboard or the motherboard simply doesn't want the fan going any higher. I think you should replace the stock cooler for a Cooler Master Hyper Evo and see if the temps go down...

It could be a mold like algae maybe if you have some small leaks but as long as you can get most of it off or at least still put thermal paste on the cpu I think you should be fine.

Try an AMD R7 250x. Also make sure your motherboard supports PCI Express 2 or higher. You really need a new cpu. If you get any gpu higher in performance your gonna bottleneck like crazy. You can get an i3 today for around 100 bucks. I don't think you'll be playing crysis 3 on medium with...

Xeon's are more for servers because of all the cores inside them for the ultimate multitasking and networking but an i7 will always be better for gaming. I have seen that some i7's actually beat the xeon's in performance when playing games. The i7's are also more power efficient since they can...

I wouldn't suggest overclocking a lot on that motherboard, pretty cheap in my opinion, but you could slightly without any major problems. Make sure to monitor the temperatures with a program like Speedfan though. If they go above 65 degrees Celsius then just stick to the stock clock rate. If...

Does the number lock light (if you have one) turn off after u press a few keys after the freeze? If so, I can almost guarantee it's a motherboard issue. If not then it must be your power supply. Either the power supply isn't supplying enough power to run the games or your motherboard has a...
