So heres the story:
recently my computer has been randomly crashing. but suddenly today it wont even stay on for more than a few minutes. all i can really say about the crash is that it happens no matter what im doing. the keyboard and mouse cut out, the monitors freeze at the last image and all i hear is white noise from the speakers.
the only real clue i have is that the motherboard "cpu error" light is on
I can boot into the bios. but it still crashes after 1-5 minutes of being on (it sometimes crashes while im still in the bios)
ive tried: resetting the bios, switching out the graphics card.
i guess my overall question is, do you think this is a CPU issue or a motherboard issue?? or something completely different
note: this all started when the computer was turned off for a longer than normal period of time.
Asus M5a97 EVO
AMD FX-6100
GTX 660ti
