Ud3h
G.skill 8gb RAM
Radeon 7850
Ocz ssd
Ocz 700w modular psu
Built 4/2012, no problems whatsoever until 6/18. Started getting random crashes with a light oc...4ghz. Shut the oc down and still had random blank screens with no bsod. No oc since.
Bad Ram tested, rma #1.
Got the ram back, ran fine for one day. Then got same lock ups followed by an eventual no-post. Boot loop, over and over and over, wouldn't even shut down until I unplugged it. Tried reseating cmos, nothing. Tried one stick of ram, no ssd, different psu, different vid card. Nothing.
Rma #2.
Board came back 3 weeks later, said tested and had boot loop and bios was updated and tested fine. 12 hours later, familiar lock ups, then familiar boot loop.
Rma #3.
Board tested faulty again, gigabyte sent a new board altogether that tested fine. 3 weeks later and I get my new board today. Built the pc and about 3 hours later, familiar reboots but haven't gotten the boot loop YET. tho obviously, something is wrong.
I don't know what is going on. Is it possible I have a bad cpu or psu or something else and they are causing these other components to fail? Does gigabyte keep sending me crap parts? Any tests I can run (before the pc becomes unusable again)? I've got a spare everything and tried all of them with this cpu/mobo combo with the same problems.
This is ridiculously frustrating, had I known in may when I bought my parts that the pc wouldn't be working until august+, I would have waited to build the damn thing with more updated parts.
Sorry for the typing. Phone's predictive texts hate computer lingo.
