GPU or PSU on death bed.

[Isaki]

Hi,

 

Over the past 3 days, I have been having serious problems with my PC. It first happened in the BF2 beta, when my monitors both randomly lost signal, my PC continued to work (I could still talk and hear discord and CUE still worked) but the monitors wouldn't come back. At first, I ignored this and blamed it on the beta has some bug. That was before it happened another 3 times today.

 

I'm fairly sure that this isn't a problem with the drivers as I updated them earlier today (after the first crash) and it seemed to have no impact.

 

I believe that either my PSU (that has been having some issues for a while now, including the fan clicking and really loud coil whine) or my GPU (that has never had an issue before this) has died/is dying.

 

I've had both parts, a Corsair cx600m and an MSI GTX970 for around 3 years without issue. What I would like to know is if there is a way that I can figure out if this problem is A) Software or Hardware, and B) What component is causing it.

 

Thanks

 

Edit: Further info, my PC and monitors are both running off of an extension lead, but this hasn't caused problems at all in the past year.

Probably the CX600M, ive had one for three years before it went quietly into the night, replaced it with an RM750x, never looked back since

 

Look at your event manager, maybe you'll find some clues

Is it possible that the ports on the back of the card are going under stress from monitor cable ?
