So I built my computer months ago and everything seemed to work great up until just recently.

First problem I noticed was when I plugged in a USB flash drive and while it was installing the device I noticed my fans had ramped up to max speed and my monitors were glitching out every couple of seconds. In a panic, I shut down and waited a minute then turned back on and everything seemed fine again, although I didn't try to plug the flash drive back in.

Next problem was that the computer just wouldn't start. I'd hit the power button and the fans would start spinning but then stop, and nothing would happen. Did some reasearch on this and ended up swapping out the motherboard (old one was a MSI x99a SLI Plus) and the power supply (old one was a EVGA 750w GQ) which seemed to fix the problem, although after the switch I occasionally experience the first problem I was having.

Now my computer starts every time, but most of the time once I get to my desktop I hear my fans start to ramp up to full speed and my monitors start glitching. One time before shutting down I opened up HWMonitor and noticed the temp of my GPU was around 95 Celsius.

Every so often I get it to run fine with no overheating, temps stay between 30-40 Celsius even while running World of Warcraft.

I know my way around computers a little bit but this is stumping me, any help would be greatly appreciated.


Specs are

Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X Hybrid

Asus Sabertooth x99 motherboard

That sounds really odd if it games at a good temperature. Normally I'd say change the thermal paste and reseat the block but it seems to be fine... Check it's voltage when it does it again, maybe it's pushing a ton of voltage for some reason. I'd suggest RMAing it though.
