Hoping for some advice on how to troubleshoot this one, not even 100% sure its a gfx card issue although it looks likely.
When i play a game or sometimes run furmark the monitor will loose connection to pc (black screen), the pc will after about 10secs go into a sound loop of whatever was playing and the pc will be unresponsive. The only way to recover is to power off and power back on.
Most of the times this happens the radeon software is corrupt when pc restart and i need to uninstall and re-install the software.
I have tried display driver uninstaller to ensure its cleanly removed.
I have ran furmark for 3hours without a problem (once), hung twice after a few mins.
I ran MSI kombustor overnight for 8 hours and it was still running in the morning. I dont think it hits it as much as furmark. Neither give much in terms of logging or what is going on.
Temps after hours of heavy use are usually 70-79 degrees.
No overclocking on CPU or GFX card, RAM runs an XMP profile at 3600.
PC has been running for over a year with little issues before this recent hiccup.
It's about 20mnths old so should be under warranty. I dont want to send it back only for them to say nothing is wrong.
Any suggestions or help appreciated!
