Hi,
My computer has recently developed a couple of problems. It has started unexpectedly crashing, sometimes while playing games, other times when browsing the web. Temps are fine and I can't seem to recreate the issue intentionally - it happens randomly.
Also, one more than one occasion, when trying to restart, I was presented with a screen asking me to select from a list of 2 operating systems, neither of which worked, and upon further inspection, none of my drives were listed in the BIOS. To fix this, I had to reset the CMOS, which only seems to be a temporary solution (has happened twice now) and it didn't fix the crashes either.
Does these seem like 2 separate issues, or are they likely related? If so, is the motherboard faulty?
Here are the specs:
CPU - i7-6800k
Motherboard - Gigabyte X99 Designare EX
RAM - 32GB Corsair LPX 3000MHz
GPU - EVGA GTX 980 ti SC
PSU - EVGA 650 G2
Storage - 256GB Samsung SM951 (boot drive), 256GB Samsung SM871, 480GB Crucial M500 and a 2TB Toshiba P300
Thanks in advance for any help.
