Is My PC Dying?

[Ryou-kun]

Hello again LTT,

 

I have been constant issues with my PC, and I thought I fixed but it came back and it is extremely annoying as hell.

 

My first issue is when my monitor screen went black yet PC is still on and PC fan is blowing pretty loud. I thought I fixed it by uninstalling my NVIDIA drivers and reinstalling it plus downclocking my CPU speed to 4.0 GHz rather 4.2 GHz. I didn't have any issues with that until later ...

 

My second issue is when my PC randomly shutdown out of no reason after 2-3 weeks of my first issue incident. It is extremely annoying and I didn't do much to fix it, but it did seem to stop.

 

Lastly my issue is now my first issue incident where my monitor screen decide to turn off yet my PC is on and my PC fan is blowing pretty loud.

 

Right now, I have no idea what is going on. All 3 of those issues happened within a month, and it became at the point where I just say screw waiting for AMD Vega and start building my new PC. Currently, I am slowly grabbing PC parts that are on sales for AMD Ryzen and decide to wait for AMD Vega before start building. 

 

Does anyone have an idea how to fix it?

 

Here is my PC specs:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500k @ 4.0 GHz

MoBo: ASUS P8Z68-V LX 

CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Plus

RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333 MHz

SSD2: OCZ 128GB SSD (Program, Software and important games)

HDD1: WD 1TB HDD (Junks)

Both my CPU and GPU runs between 30*C to 60*C, so I don't think it is overheating.

My monitor is new that I bought back in January. It is one of those cheap AOC 24" 1920x1080 @ 144 Hz w/ FreeSync.

Then something is dying...Maybe it's the GPU IMO

Hmm, maybe. Do you think my PSU also cause it?

Yes, a dying PSU may be the cause. (But it's uncommon)

Then I might need to snag a cheap, slight used yet decent enough GPU. Reason is that I was planning to give my current PC parts (except case and my two HDD) to my dad. I need to figure out the issues.

 

What else might be a culprit?

Other parts in the PC

Well then, it is going to be a pain in the butt.

Considering my Exams is right around the corner. I hope I could take it to Fry's or Best Buy and let them sort it out.

Need to keep a repair log, detailing every step you are doing, that way you might be able to pinpoint the problem. Also run it at stock settings, do not run it at overclock especially when you're trying to fix your PC.

It seems like somehow my second SSD "got unplug" from my system? I didn't even touch it.

Well, I guess I am going to have to take my Desktop to a local Computer Repair Shop. I don't feel like troubleshooting each and every parts of my PC considering my Exams is getting closer.

I agree.

[Ryou-kun]

Well, somehow I am lead to believe that it might be my motherboard unless I am wrong. 

It doesn't register my second SSD anymore despite I unplug and replug the cables.
