A couple of days ago I was playing Starcraft 2 beta and my PC decided to just turn itself off. Since then it has blue screened a couple of times, froze in windows, and froze with a constant audio loop. There has also been a problem with the audio where it wouldnt play anything and winamp said "no device detected" despire it showing in hardware manager. Yesterday it crashed just in the BIOS too
My CPU is overclocked but has been fine for the past 4 or so months. I reinstalled audio drivers, ran HD tune to test for bad blocks and reverted back to a clone from 1st april.
The worse thing about it is that its random, I can run prime, prime blend etc and it will work then just randomly turn off and restart when broswing the net
I'm going to plug my CD drive in tonight and run Memtest and its currently running Prime95@stock CPU settings. Is there a possibily that the PSU is on its way out?
