So recently some weird stuff has been going around my pc... Abrupt shutdowns while playing fallout 4....No display while booting up and the GPU fans would spin at full speed...
Generally the no display problem would be fixed in one or two tries but this morning it took me a whole hour to get the pc started up... I had to remove the graphic card clean it up and reinstall to get it working.. I've now kinda started doubting my graphic card. Is it possible that its failing??
I changed my PSU to fix the problems related to fallout 4 but that seemed to do nothing and i feel like I've wasted my money.
What do you think? should i get a replacement on this card?
My system specs-
CPU- AMD FX-4100 @ 3.6 ghz
GPU- Sapphire AMD R7-265 2GB DDR5
Mobo- ASUS m5a78l-m lx v2
PSU- Antec VP 550p V2 80+ (bought just a few weeks back)
OS- Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
As i mentioned above, CPU heating might be causing the fallout issues but I'm not quite sure as they seem very random...one day I played for about 6 hours straight and nothing happened...The next time 15 minutes was enough to shut it down. If it was a heating problem, it should shutdown everytime within a few minutes of gameplay right?
Also windows doesn't give me a thermal shutdown warning. Its a hard shutdown. Is that what happens when CPU heats ?
One of my friend strongly feels that power fluctuations are causing all these problems and suggests that getting a UPS would fix it.
Any insight into this matter would be helpful
