The other day I got a new desk which required me to unplug everything and set everything back up again, before this, I was able to run any game I had, except those which didn't support it, on 5760x1080 eyefinity on medium/high graphics.
After safety turning off my computer then setting everything back up again, I'll try to play any game, the game will launch, but when I go to a match, the monitors will lose signal, Alt+F4 won't do anything, and I'll try to use the restart button on my PC, it'll work maybe half the time, the other half I have to hold down the power button.
After 3 times of this happening, my PC did a disk check for consistency, there were no errors, and when the PC starts up again, everything is working fine until it needs to use the GPU really more than 15%. I can't even play a YouTube video in 1080 without it crashing.
I've tried to reinstall certain games, make sure everything in the files was okay, but it is every single game that fails, it can't even handle launching a Garry's Mod match.
I've tried reinstalling the GPU drivers, no success there either, so I left my computer overnight and checked it in the morning, because generally I never turn off my PC except for restarting due to updates 2-4 times a month so even though it makes so sense, I thought maybe letting it sit for 8 hours might do something, sure enough, didn't work, didn't really expect it to.
I've seen other threads it might be the PSU not being able to power the GPU anymore, or some threads have said it's the GPU crashing and I'm not sure which it is, what would you think would be the best thing I could do to test it out?
My specs are:
i5 3470 @ 3.8
Sapphire HD 7950 3GB (not overclocked)
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB DDR3 1600
Western Digital AV-GP WD10EURX 1TB
