So I've had three crashes, all of which occurred after leaving my computer idle for a while, just after waking it and logging back in from the lock screen within say 10 -30 sec. First time the screen displayed snow like on an old tv with no signal, then lock screen came up and I signed in, then screen went multi-colored and I had reboot.
Second and third times I woke computer, signed in, with no issue but then crashed with display showing a solid pastel pink color. First one of this kind I held ctrl-alt-del until reboot, second time it rebooting after about 10 sec on it's own.
I have a new PSU and GPU, but I ran into an issue where my new CPU isn't supported on my MB without BIOS update so I'm still running my old MB, CPU, RAM at the moment.
Yes, I have 7 GB of ram on this board. I had 4x2GB for 8GB total at the time, and at that point DDR2 was hard to get ahold of and I only found a 1GB stick for a reasonable price that matched my other ones, and it wasn't the same brand or frequency, but I made sure in the BIOS they were set to run at the lowest common denominator. Worked fine in this configuration for a couple years now.
EDIT Huh checked DDR2 and now there's plenty of options, but I swear for whatever reason when I was looking to replace my dead stick back then I could hardly find it anywhere, and what was available was 5x the normal price **
I did have the very rare occurrance of similar crashes with my old Radeon HD 6870 card before a fan died on it and I stopped using it. Never did figure it out then but it was like maybe 3-4 times it happened in 5 years or so.
Temperatures are ok, waiting on two more case fans for exhaust so I'm running it open with a fan pointed into the case ATM. GPU temp stays in 45-55 range when playing game Path of Exile for hours, CPU and MB temp can get up to low 60s though. Never crashed while under load so far, just when it had been sitting a went to sleep.
