I own a system that I've had for roughly a year now, bought prebuilt, used. Has had 1 or 2 hiccups but otherwise worked perfectly.
Recently have been doing more intensive tasks such as recording VALORANT at 1080p 60fps, which has run fine for about a month. A few days ago I tabbed out of an application and both of my monitors froze and forced me to restart the computer. When I restarted it the monitors stopped displaying, leaving a blank screen and they don't recognise the GPU. I shut it off and came back to it a few hours later to which it turned on and I was able to use it for roughly twenty minutes when both monitors went gray and now are back to not displaying anything.
I am not experienced with the hardware side of computers and want to try and fix it myself instead of paying hundreds of dollars getting it fixed professionally. I have checked all the connectors and they are all snugly fit in. Everything is on and working, even the RBG on the GPU are on.
PC Specs are as follow:
Vapor-X R9 280x GPU
i5 4690k running at 3.6, boosted to 3.85 by previous owner
16GB, 2x8 of DDR3 Ram, I think running at 1600mhz
Asus Maximus VII Gene motherboard
Corsair CS750M PSU
128gb Samsung SSD as the boot drive, 240gb Samsung SSD as the secondary
Both Monitors run at 1920x1080 res at 60hz
On the motherboard there is a 62 LED code which I looked up and it said its the RAM/GPU at fault, but unable to find anything helpful
Help please!
