Greetings everyone,
A few months ago I decided I was going to try to design my very first computer that I planned to use as a multi-purpose computer but mainly as a home gaming computer. For weeks I did online (thanks to everyone that posts youtube videos on the topics!) and in-store research trying to find out the best components to put into the system. I went with the following:
• Intel I6700K
• ASUS Maximus Hero 8
• MSI R9 390
• Corsair 16GB 3000hz
• Windows 10 64 bit
• Three monitor system (not 4k)
Here is the issue I am having. I bought one game for it, Fallout 4, and have been playing that since it came out. About six weeks ago I was playing it when I received a no signal screen on all three of my monitors. The fans on the video card kicked into high gear and it sounded like the computer reset itself. I don’t know if it did or not because I could not see anything on my screen. The side of the case was open so I don’t think it was an overheating issue, but the top of the video card was hot to the touch. I would reset the computer and the same issue would repeat usually after 2-3 minutes of playing the game. Eventually I couldn’t even watch something on netflix and type a word document before the same thing happened again.
I shut the system down and took it to Fry’s (who I had put it together). I hooked it up to one monitor at their store and could not get it to duplicate the issue I was having. They suggested a possible power issue or maybe a slot in the motherboard. I took it home and put the video card in one slot lower on the motherboard. I also picked up a display for the temperature inside of the PC and near the processor. Everything seemed to be working fine again, with no issues, until last week and it started happening again.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone know if any of these components do not work in concert together and can have issues with one another? Do slots in the motherboard burn out, and if so why and how can I find out? Are there any programs that I can download that will help with issues like this?
This was my first build design so I have zero extra parts to try in the slots. MSI gave me the link to return the video card and ASUS hasn’t responded to my submission. The computer was built at the end of October and I started using it in November. I don’t believe I should be having these kinds of issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kevin
