Hi, i've had a problem with my PC for quite some time now. I've replaced the gpu which solved the issue for a time until it came back, and i've also replaced the motherboard which solved the issue for a time before also coming back.
This is the problem. When i'm using my computer, the screen will randomly shut off, the power button on the moniter going from green to orange. All of the fans will stop running, except for the psu fan. I will be able to hear the HDD still spinning, but nothing else seems to be operational. The power button on my case stops working and won't turn off the computer, so i have to manually either pull the PSU power cable or flip the switch.
When i try to turn the machine back on, the majority of the time the psu fan will run really fast for a few seconds and then slow down like usual, the HDD will start spinning, and the case fans will either spin for a second or not at all, and then nothing else. The screen stays black and not turned on, the cpu and gpu fan doesn't spin, nothing.
Then i flip the PSU switch again to turn it off, as the case switch doesn't work when it only half-boots in that fashion, and try to boot it up again. After multiple tries usually i can eventually get it to boot normally. Sometimes it will run fine for days, but it always seems to eventually crash at some point like i explained above, and i have to repeat the process. Sometimes i can't get it to boot properly at all, and i have gone weeks without my computer being able to start properly.
At first i thought it was my mobo, i replaced it and things went well for a few weeks, and then the problem started reoccurring.
I then started to get artifacts all over my screen and the resolution was permanently messed up. So i just went out and purchased a new GPU which i just installed today. I tried to turn on my computer after installing it, and it wouldn't fully boot, only the PSU and HDD would turn on. After messing with the power connections and jiggling them and restarting the PSU switch a few times i got the PC to boot. I just finished reinstalling windows, and i'm looking at the desktop screen. I know it's a matter of time before it dies again, and i'm getting very frustrated. I've dealt with this problem for a very long time, since i first built this PC back in 2011. Since then, i've replaced the: Motherboard, PSU, GPU, and RAM.
Please help me with my problem and restore my sanity. I hope one of you can finally figure out this issue. I would be eternally grateful if you were able to do so.
Update: Since installing the new gpu and a new installation of windows 10, the OS will stay on for about 5 minutes until i get a bluescreen citing "memory management" as the issue. I've gotten this bluescreen many times in the past. The screen usually either completely goes black, or i get a memory management bluescreen.
Update 2: I reseated the RAM, and after that, windows ran a little bit longer, enough to update to about 79%. At that point, i got another bluescreen, this time with the message "IRQL_not_less_than_or_equal" or something like that. I've also encountered that blue screen message many many times.
System specs:
GPU: Nvidia GTX 770 MSI brand
Mobo: MSI 970A-G43 PLUS
RAM: Ripjaw 2g X 2 sticks (i forgot the pin specs but when i bought them i made sure they were right for the mobo. If really needed i can get the info)
CPU: AMD AM3 Deneb black edition 3.4ghz
PSU: Corsair GS 700W
