cpu Whats happening to my PC 😟

[ankit96barthwal]

Hey Guys,

 

There's some weird problem with my gaming pc. Below are the specs

 

i5 6400

Gtx 1060-6Gb

16gb hyperx RAM

1TB Seagate HDD

 

There's some weired static display I see since past few days. pc opens up in desktop works for a while then there's a constant turquoise blue screen, Pink or GREEN with no error codes and then the PC restarts itself. Now after restarting after the windows logo it goes back to same constant screen or a static screen sometimes and then the restart cycle continues.

 

Ram cleaned and reseated, gpu reseated and dust removed, pc dust removed, tried gpu on another slot, processor thermal paste changed etc. But nothing seems to work. After this servicing from my local pc technician, it worked for an hour or two then it started going mad again.

 

Pc seems to be working fine when running via integrated graphics though haven't run it for extended period of time.

 

Any idea what could have caused this. Attaching a sample screenshot of the pc screen for reference.

 

Any help is appreciated. Made the PC in 2015.

If it can run off the integrated fine, i'd happily say that its a GPU issue. Has anything happened to the gpu recently? 

Not sure if itll help, though id recommend updating the bios, using the APU, and new Gpu drivers

Yeah, that either means the video port on the GPU is dirty or your GPU is toast. Which port are you using?

This happened all of a sudden yesterday. Before that the PC was running absolutely fine.

Everything's cleaned not sure if the Video Port is an issue though I haven't tried running it via a different pair of cables like VGA or DVI

id still recommend updating BIOS and drivers through the APU, it might just be that a vital file might have become corrupt, an update would tend to fix something like that

BIOS drivers through APU? APU is for AMD processors if I'm not wrong. I have an intel i5 6400 processor. How do I do it for my intel pc?

APU & iGPU are the same thing, at a hardware level... who call theirs what isn't the issue.
