Hi all,
I built the following PC a few months ago:
I7 4790k 4.0GHz
Evga GTX980
Evga 850W G2 PSU
Asus Maximus VII hero motherboard
500GB Samsung EVo SSD
3TB HD
Corsair Vengeance 2133 Mhz 16GB DDR3 RAM
Just upgraded from Windows 8.1 to 10.
I had an issue since building the PC: While playing games the screen would go completely blue and say "no HDMI signal detected". Unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable into either the graphics card or monitor would fix it. This did not occur so often that it stopped me from using the PC but it was annoying. I figured it was an issue with the HDMI cable so I replaced it about 1 month ago.
It seemed to fix it...
Then I updated to windows 10 about 2 weeks ago and since then, Starcraft 2 crashed on me twice:
First time, the game's sound became distorted and a few seconds later, just froze and "stopped responding". Task manager didn't let me force close the game, but navigating the desktop seemed normal. I restarted the PC to fix it.
Second time, just now, was scarier: I was playing SC2 again (max settings, campaign, very very hectic gameplay scene), and there was the same audio distortion followed by the screen going blue saying "no HDMI signal detected" followed by the PC restarting on its own. The MOBO flashed several different codes very fast but then displayed A2 (IDE Detect). Right after the restart, the PC seems normal and the MOBO is displaying A0 (code for "everything's fine").
These were rare occurrences as I've been playing lots of SC2.
But any idea what's going on? Could this be an issue with the video card overheating?
