PC 'kinda' Crashes

[Elseano14]

Hi! posting here before i seek professional help. Just recently upgraded my rig from being in a HAF 912 case to a Mastercase 5, and switched from stock cooler to a hyper 212 evo.

 

The issue i'm having is two fold: my boot period is very long, and while gaming (typically after a period of 30 min -2 hours) i will lose video. The machine still seems to be fully working- game sound continue, skype call work, and audio on youtube still plays- but no video at all. If you have any ideas, please say, or I'll just go to Canada computers and have them diagnose it for me.(for a $40 fee, so i'm trying here first)

My full specs are:

gigabyte 'windforce' r9 280

Intel i5-4460 w/ cooler master hyper 212 evo cooling

gigabyte H97-d3h 

XFX 550 Bronze

Coolermaster Mastercase 5

Thanks, if you can help me.

Try upgrading your video card drivers, and as far as your boot times, thats an issue you have to deal with assuming you dont have a solid state drive

Thanks, will try. boot times have been fine, even on my HDD, but they've gotten longer in the past few days in a way that defies logic.

run an msconfig and stop as many non essential start up programs as possible, that should help you some. But if your wanting to get your boot times to be better, i suggest moving your OS to an SSD
