Hi,

So for the past few days whenever I go to play counter-strike global offensive, my computer will randomly freeze up. Sound will loop, my monitors will go black, but the power stays on. Sometimes it happens after 5 minutes of gaming, sometimes after around 50. Frustrated with this issue, I looked into it and ran some GPU andCPU stress tests, while also testing the memory.

I ran the GPU test in multiple forms for about 40 minutes. The temperature of my GPU capped out at about 69 C. There were no crashes during this time.

I also ran a CPU stress test, but closed it rather quickly because the temperatures of my CPU spiked and I didn't want to risk damage.

For memory, I used window's memory test and it reported no errors.

Unfortunatly, I just restarted my computer and now it has power and is on, but both monitors are black, when I touch the illuminated keyboard the lights flick on for less than a second, and I cannot power it off even with the power button.

Specs:
CPU- Core-i5 4690 3.5Ghz Quad core
Mobo- ASRock H97 Pro4 ATX LGA1150
Memory- GSkill Ripjaws X Series 8 GB, 2x4GB, DDR3-1600
GPU- AMD Sapphire R9 280 3Gb overclock edition
Storage- Corsair Force LX 256 GB SSD
PSU- Corsair CX 600 watt 80+ bronze certified, semi-modular ATX

My rig has been working fine since July of last year. Please help!
