So I have been facing a very annoying issue for the past 5 weeks! I tried almost everything at my disposal or what i could afford. It is obviously a PC issue (its a desktop) and I am just cornered by problems and unsatisfactory results.
First the details of my PC
OS- Windows 10 1809
Motherboard - Asus P8B75-V (LGA1155)
Processor- Intel core i7-3770
RAM- DDR3 2x8G (1600 mhz) A-data
GPU- msi red dragon NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
hard drive- 1TB hdd WD (no SSD)
power supply-Cooler master 500W
Casing- Aigo Atlantis-ATX ( Air cooled)
Now the problems!
So when I upgraded my GPU from GTX 970 to 1070 and the RAM from 8Gb to 16GB, I happened to experience a much slower performance. While playing games like PUBG, Assassins creed origin, Battlefield 1 and Call of duty black ops 4, my monitor screen blacked out and just minutes later my PC restarted. This made me very uncomfortable and I panicked. So after leaving the PC for several hours, I repeated the gaming process and the same THING happened. My PC was overheating so I bought a new casing with 12 fans with a positive environment setup ( I checked using smoke). No blacking out happened in the first 2 hours so I thought the problem is solved.However, after playing for 4-5 hours straight the same thing happened. I checked the temp using GPU-z the highest was 70-75 Celsius. I have to reduce my screen resolution to 1600x1024. This renders the issue of screen blacking out. WHY????
Second problem is how incredibly slow the PC is after the upgrade. I have twice the RAM and GPU. I expected a fast boot and performance. At this moment my PC take 4 minutes to start and the password screen to desktop process is very slow. I HAVE TO WAIT TO REFRESH THE DAMN SCREEN!!! Something you'd expect from a 2GB core 2 duo !!!
I have tried updating the drivers, BIOS,deleting all the unnecessary software/programs, upgrading my casing and radiator for the processor, applying thermal paste to the GPU and Processor, disabled all the startup programs expect audio drivers.ETC
Please can you help me here to figure this issue out. I am out of ideas and patience. I hope you get the whole idea from this. If any detail is required. Please do ask!
