Hey guys!
I've been searching for a few weeks now about the issue I'm having with my computer and I haven't found anything that really relates to me so I'm posting here. I've tried a few different programs to test and didn't find anything wrong yet so I'm hoping you could help me find my problem.
Here are the problems I'm experiencing and all the information I've found.
- When I boot, there are a few blue/pink dots on the top left of the screen which last for anywhere between 5seconds to a few minutes. Sometimes the computer stays there and doesn't boot and sometimes they're there for a few seconds then it boots up. This appears right after the bios screen and before the windows loading logo.
- One program randomly freeze and stop responding, then I can't hit ctrl+alt+delete or use anything related with windows explorer and evetually I hard reboot since I can't do anything at all. If I wait enough, it will give me a blue screen.
- A few weeks ago I had a lot of display driver crashes, and sometimes it recovered, sometimes my computer rebooted. I've reinstalled windows now with new drivers and I don't have any driver crashes anymore. I've tried my GPU in another computer and ran furmark a few times without any issues, so I don't think the GPU is the problem.
I'm thinking it may be the RAM or the motherboard?
Here are my specs :
Tower: corsair 400r
CPU: i5 2500k
CPU cooler: hyper 212+
Motherboard: GA-Z68XP-UD3P Z68 R
GPU: R6970 LIGHTNING RT
RAM: 8 gb de corsair
HDD: 1TB hitachi 7200 RPM
PSU: 900W Antec
SSD: Crucial M4 64 gb
Thanks a lot, I've been trying to find out what's the problem for some time now and University is starting soon so I need my computer, but I don't feel like paying 100$ for a diagnosis at my local computer store.
