Hello all,
Recently my PC started hanging, sometimes showing black screen and shutting down by itself when not doing anything stressful.
I initially thought it was the external GPU (EVGA Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti) so I took out but the issue still persisted. I noticed that with the GPU i was getting black screen and random shut downs but with the integrated GPU i was also getting random colorful screen flickering as well.
I booted up the PC but the monitor started showing some weird colorful lines and flickering and eventually leading to freezing and hanging where there was nothing i could do but shut down the PC completely.
Sometimes the PCstarts normally, logs into windows and after some time e.g 1-30mins it hangs and shuts down.
My PSU was bought a year ago and its a good one: Seasonic SSR-650FX FOCUS Plus Gold 650W
Is it possible there was a power surge and the PSU was affected?
Maybe the Motherboard?
I have tried switching aroung the ram sticks and using the one by one but the issue still persists.
Any ideas?
