Hi,
From some time now it happens that my screen loses it's signal (and changing the connectors of the video card or replugging the cables doesn't help). The first thing I though was that my video card might be a tiny bit broken , but since it wasn't common I left it as it is.
Sunday, I was using the computer normally and suddenly it shut down without any warning. And it didn't even wanted to start again, but then I changed the power cable and it got back to work again.
Today while I was using it (again, nothing too hard on the hardware) it suddenly shut down again. Rebooted it and tried playing Borderlands 2, it starts and then after some time shut down again. Tried it 3 times with the same results.
Just Now I tried running a different game (NFS: Most Wanted) and it played for a while (longer than Borderlands 2) but it still shut down.
So, what can all that mean? Is there a way to do a software test on my hardware? Can the video card shutdown the computer ?
System Specs:
Intel Sandy Bridge Core I7 2600 3.40GHz Quad Box
Nvidia Geforce GTX 580
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1333MHz
Corsair 800W | GS800
Gigabyte (Sandy-Bridge) | GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3
Corsair WaterCooler | Corsair Hydro H60
PS: On none of the problems did the desktop temperature was high (I believe it hasn't passed 70 Celsius on the GPU)
