Okay, this message is going to be a bit long, but bear with me....
Basically I built this computer last summer and ever since I have been having issues. I RMA'd my initial graphics card thinking that it was the issue but I am starting to realize that there is a deeper issue. So pretty much while gaming my PC will go to a black screen and be unresponsive to anything but a hard reboot. I cant do anything on this screen and the sound loops for a second or two. Sometimes the crash will go into a grey striped screen which apparently is common on AMD cards (specs will be posted after the message). I have done memory tests which come up okay with no errors. I have no overheating on either my CPU or GPU from my tests. I did a diagnostic on my HDD and it came back positive aswell. So far there have been no things that would lead me to believe that this computer is faulty, but it always happens when I am gaming.
Specs:
Gigabyte AMD 7850 gpu (it came with a stock OC of 975 mhz and 1200 mhz on gpu memory, I know that could be important)
Intel i5-2500 processor
corsair enthusiast series tx750 750w power supply
8gb of corsair ddr3 1600 ram (the ram for some reason runs at 1333 according to my bios could this be playing a part?)
Asus p8z77-v lk motherboard
I have changed PCI-E cables from the power supply, changed slots on the motherboard for the GPU, and have also cleaned the living hell out of every component on this darn thing. Could it be a settings issue? Is there anything I should tweak to check it out? On another side note, I have crashed in almost every game besides Metro 2033 surprisingly. Anything from TF2 and Half Life 2 to Far Cry 3 crashes, but I have never had a crash on Metro and even while recording. This is what leads me to think that it may be something to do with some settings on the computer that I would need to fix.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
