My computer is 6months old and freezes

[Kim Persson]

Im just courius what the problem can be, my comp is about 6 months old, never had any problems before but one day when i came home the comp when ever i started it, it would come on to windows then when clicking firefox the screen would go out and say No dvi signal, i installed old grafic drivers so i could at least start firefox so i thought that it was the only problem, but later that day i got blue screen, i reinstalled windows on my comp works fine for a whole day then after that while playing a game my screen started lagging and the game froze and i could not do anything about it restarted the comp and once again the screen would say, no dvi signal, waited a day and im on the comp now everything seems to work but im kinda afraid it might happen again and i wanna know if anyone knows why?

I only ran the cpu / gpu test.

could be ram, try pushing your ram down it could have slipped a bit in the sockets from heating.

I just checked the ram, and they are sitting rock solid.

might not seem like they have moved but just push down on them firmly or even take them out and put them in again.

if it still fails just try 1 stick of ram at a time.

I removed both and put them back in, but the thing is i wont know if that is or was the problem untill the comp crashes again?

furmark - "burn in test" - 1 hour
prime95 - options -> torture test (just press ok/default mode) - 1 hour
memtest requires you to burn the image
