Yesterday I played Battlefield 4 and all of a sudden it froze. The audio failed too and could not see anything on the screen. Tried ctrl+alt+del but to no avail, so I restarted the computer manually.
It started up as normal, and I tried bf4 again, this time I was able to play a bit longer session. But then, crash again. Tried F.E.A.R 1 too, it crashed. I rebooted and got a blackscreen "No Signal Detected!"
My system is only 1 month old, I have built it myself and it has worked fine until now. If I remember correctly, I ran "Heaven benchmark 4.0" some time before I started playing. Maybe this had something to do with my problems? but im pretty sure not.
I use GPU-Z. CPU-Z and HWMonitor to see temps etc, and havn't had any high numbers so far.
Here's my specs:
* BenQ XL2411T monitor
* Corsair C70 Case
* Asrock Z87 Extreme 4 mobo
* Intel i7 4770k
* Corsair H100i CPU-cooler
* Corsair RM 750W PSU
* MSI GTX 780 Gaming
* A-Data SP900 SSD 256gb (OS and BF4)
* A-Data 8x2 16gb 1600MHz
* Seagate 1TB HDD (Games etc)
* Samsung writemaster DVD-burner
NOTE: None of the above are overclocked except the factory OC on the GPU. The H100i is in push and I have 3 Corsair AF fans installed in the case.
Things I have tried so far, but still no signal, is:
- Checked so that there's no bent pins and defect cables.
- Booted the PC with one stick of RAM
- I have reset CMOS as well as taken out and in CMOS battery.
- Tried a different DVI-cable and the second DVI slot on GPU.
The monitor is working fine and it works fine when plugged in to the onboard GPU.
I hope it is some sort of software problem, but I am not surprised if it's hardware related... this is so effin' annyoing...
So, what do you guys think? Should I do a full reformat of the OS? what else can I do? come with suggestions. RMA it? hope not....
One more thing! I noticed some condensation on the GPU fans, as well as on a part on the motherboard. Here's some pictures of it:
