Very recently (within the last 2-3 days) my self-built desktop has started giving me the blue screen, when I've checked the .dmp files, the error had to do with "VIDEO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_INTERNAL", but I don't have the premium software to access the rest of the information in the .dmp file in its entirety.
When I try to enter the BIOS menu once my computer has rebooted, it is completely black except the mouse pointer. If I move the mouse around, it 'clears' away the blackness in the path of the mouse and I can see pieces of the menu beneath. But I am unable to do anything at this screen. (I've attached a link to the picture of this, it's weird). Screen Here
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling my graphics card drivers, and this still happens.
My computer also only crashes after ~20 minutes of playing WoW. I can play Diablo 3, DOTA 2, any other "graphically intensive" games with no issue whatsoever, but WoW always crashes. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling and it still crashes. That's what I get for subbing back in, right?
I really appreciate any help/advice that you guys might have. I'm planning on wiping my computer and starting over this weekend, but the BIOS screen issue is just so strange, I am really curious to know what's going on.
Here are the specs to my machine:
CPU: i5-4690 (at stock frequency)
MOBO: ASRock Z97 Anniversary
GPU: Sapphire HD 7970 Ghz Edition 3GB 384 Bit GDDR5
RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB 1866MHz (but manually set in BIOS to 1600MHz to fix early crashing issues)
PSU: Corsair CX 600W
1 x SSD
1 x HDD
Win 7 Pro
Thanks again!
