Hey guys,
My current PC components are in my sig.
So I thought my black screen days were over (previous GPU Death) but alas it has come back with a vengeance. I changed my GPU and everything ran fine for around 6 months.
A few days ago I get a black screen at boot. Restarted it a few times and everything came back to normal. It's been happening more often since then. So far I've removed all peripherals including the new GPU and the problem still persists. When it does work, there's no noticeable performance issues. I still play games and there's no frames dropping or overheating on the components (max 60 C)
1. I suspect motherboard is fine - Running solely on the motherboard/CPU the mobo beeps. I've also reset the bios a few times.
2. I suspect the RAM is fine - Memtest ran without any issues.
So I'm left with just the CPU. Anyone got any ideas before I decide to buy another one? If I do I'll probably have to upgrade the motherboard and RAM anyway. The motherboard/CPU/RAM have been with me for close onto 8 years now so I'm due for an upgrade I think.
