Hey all,
Recently, when running high intensity games like CS:GO, my PC will suddenly out of the blue crash. No warnings, it just either completely goes black or the screen freezes with no sound, mouse, or keyboard control. (This actually happens often not just during games.) My OS is loaded onto an OCZ Vertex 460, and I've read that OCZ's are know to have MAJOR issues. The drive won't appear in my motherboard's boot order either, as a side note. Sometimes it's not detected at all. Just wanted an opinion on the matter before I start replacing things.
(In addition, there is sometimes a whine coming from somewhere in my case shortly before a crash. Again, this only happens sometimes, but could it be the PSU or GPU?)
Parts:
CPU: 4770k
MoBo: ASUS Z87 Pro
GPU: Gigabyte Windforce GTX770 2GB
PSU: Seasonic X750 Gold 750W
Storage: 120GB OCZ Vertex 460 SSD + 1TB WD Blue HDD
Ram: 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance LP @1866 MHz
