Hi all,
I am having an issue with my PC and can't figure out whats wrong.
Specs:
CPU: I5 2500k
MB: ASRock p67 Performance
GPU: EVGA 560 TI 448 cores
Ram: Kingston 8 gb DDR3
PSU: Corsair 750x
Monitor: BenQ XL2411
Windows 10
Symptoms:
1) When playing CSGO, the monitor goes blank and the whole screen is colored lime green. I can still hear the in game sound. Sometimes, the screen goes blank and i dont hear anything.
2) While watching Twitch, when i maximize the video player I get the same blank screen. The monitor shows "No signal" on bottom right.
3) Rarely, the PC will reboot itself no matter what i am doing. Even when browsing on Chrome
4) For points 1 and 2, i can hear that the system is on, the CPU fan is running. To fix the issue, i power down the pc and boot back up.
My thoughts and what i did:
1) I though it was a GPU issue (overheating). I took my case outside and cleaned thoroughly with compressed air.
2) I installed GPUZ and started logging temps. Started playing CSGO and 15 seconds into game play i got the blank screen. I turned off the PC and rebooted. Next, i checked the GPUZ log. Strangely, last temperature recorded was 43 degrees. However, six lines (6 seconds - approximately the time when i turned off the pc when the screen went blank) had no data as if the GPUZ program was running but the GPU was off.
3) I was in WOW log in screen and the GPU temp reached 85 degrees. At one point, the GPU fan monitor was showing 3000 rpm, but i did not hear the fan ramping up (not concrete here, it might be that the fan is very quite)
4) The PSU is almost 4 years old. The system has been running with no issues for the last 3 years.
5) Tried resetting CMOS, did not help.
6) Updated to latest Nvidia drivers. did not help
Thank you in advance and I can't wait to hear your solutions.
