Computer problem

Hello all people on this forum!


I have some problems with my computer that im not able to fix by myself so im hoping that somebody here can help me fix it.

It started after i updated to windows 10, when i started Overwatch and played for a couple minutes and the game crashed (static sound and screen went black and said no signal). I thought it was some driver that was up to date so i updated every driver that i could find that was out of date. But that didn't fix the problem so i thought it was something wrong with the powersupply (it was an old one) so i bought a new one. But after installing it i went back to play overwatch but the same thing happend.


Have anybody experienced anything similar?



With best regards //McFlaffCpuid.jpg

is anything in your PC overclocked?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

I´ve done that, the weird thing is that all the games i try is crashing after a while

check all cables in your PC, try reseting CMOS, check that your GPU isnt falling out or something and if non of that works you could try reinstallling windows

Can you please elaborate a bit? What exactly do you mean by "no signal"?

When im playing the game, after a while the screen will go black and there a small blue popup will say no signal and static sound will play through the speakers

Hmmm sounds like the grahpics card is screwing up in some way, but if it only started happening after you updated Windows, you should probably do a clean reinstall and see what happens.

Reinstalling windows had no effect still crashes in game. You have any ideas what it can be?

Maybe.

 

Can you post a list of your hardware?

 

Also, try stress testing your Graphics Card with Unigine Heaven, 3DMark Frestrike and FurMark (the free versions) for a few hours to see if you euncounter any graphical glitches or crashes.

So it seems like there is a problem with one of your graphics cards.

 

To see if this is the case, leave only the first graphics card in the motherboard (remove the second one), and run the benchmark again. Then, change them around; remove the first one and insert the second one, and rerun the benchmark.

 

Make sure you put both graphics cards in the same slot, both times, not in differents slots.

 

Does it crash with either graphics card in? Only with the first graphics card but not the second? The other way around?
