Ok, thanks. I will make that my next step if this issue happens again. Thanks for your help.

ah I see, sorry misunderstood. Well I tried to run that rivastats app but system blocked it for some reason, even if I ran it as an administrator, so I'll need to investigate that. I've not had a crash since I posted it did 13 hours ago, and like I said I was playing Witcher then for about 20 minutes when it happened, but then I played it late last night for 2 hours without it crashing, so I reckon its quite random. So it doesn't seem like it's the GPU, and I also ran a bench on CPU-Z and the temp on there was 54 C. Which I presume is within acceptable limits. So, if it happens again, then could be talking PSU or mobo, from what I've read anyway.

I did didn't I? Last test shows it running max at 73.0. I also ran CCleaner and fixed some registry issues.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/NickToye/saved/dCbKZL Last night I played Witcher for about 2 hours with no incident, I've not changed any of my configuration either since the last crash, so a bit perplexed. I ran that Unigine Heaven app, and it was giving me more FPS (140+) then I thought my GPU could do, is that normal? Gave me a score of 3258, apologies, but I'm still learning all this, but what else am I looking for? Anyway, I downloaded the Superposition benchmark software too and ran that, and that kept my FPS within what I was expecting from my GPU which is 60FPS, FPS: Min: 39.29 Avg: 48.62 Max: 59.80 GPU temp: Min: 21.0 Max: 63.0 GPU Utilisation: Max: 99% 6500 score at (1080P High) I then ran it again with my GPU overclocked FPS: Min: 40.52 Avg: 50.67 Max: 63.05 GPU temp: Min: 34.0 Max: 73.0 GPU Utilisation: Max: 100% 6775 score at (1080P High) So it seems that my GPU is fine right?

Actually my symptoms are same as this thread, so feel free to close down thread. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/898055-black-screen-gpu-fans-at-full-speed-crash-fixed/

Yeah I believe he will do that.

@Hiya! it happened again, i've got a spare PSU here but it's a bronze level one, the one I have is gold. My event viewer flagged up these errors round about the time it restarted and fans went into overdrive. DistributedCOM again, multiple times.

yeah I did, he's got it back now. Says I have first refusal when he gets it back, so if its cheaper then brand new, then could be worth thinking about.

Well I don't know that, I would hope that was not the case.

Not sure he still has it, think he may have purchased it from a store that went bust. Either way, I think i'm going to get my money back and buy a new one.

Hi I acquired a headset from a friend, he hardly used them as he won another pair. The ones in question are the Corsair Void RGB Wireless ones. Problem I am having is that the thing doesn't seem to charge, I've done all the steps listed here - http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?p=1001719#post1001719 Left them charging for around 6 hours tonight while I was out, the light was showing amber, and it was still showing amber when I got home, so I thought I would see how they were doing. iCue said they were at 76%, but within a minute this dropped to 26% and 2 minutes later they shut down with no battery. Any ideas? @Corsair Nick

No that's great. Actually I do have a Corsair product issue, but its with headsets, so I will raise a different post.

Is there a primer on tags?

Right, sorry not used tags like this before, I don't know who to tag. This look like what I would need. https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/CORSAIR-LINK/Commander-PRO-—-iCUE-RGB-Lighting-and-Fan-Controller/p/CL-9011110-WW

Well I'm not against the idea of replacing all 3 fans that came with the case and go for 2 corsair rgb ones as I already have the corsair cooler with fans, although they are not RGB, but I like iCUE and I have other corsair products, so it would make sense. My board has CHA_FAN1 and CHA_FAN2 headers I can plug in to.
