It was a fine morning and i wanted to turn on my PC. I clicked the power button and the fans starting going off, but mouse, keyboard, monitors and graphic tablet stood without power.
I did some googling but only found stuff that wasnt working, i came up with the idea to switch the RAM around - for some reason that worked
. The peripherals starting lighting up again and windows booted up, after a while though i got bluescreens with various error messages or 20 second freezes, sometimes screens flickering and general instability. I looked them up and tried troubleshooting. None of the suggestions worked, but stuff was hinting towards the graphics cards drivers. I played around with that for a while, switching them around etc. didnt work either.
I ran a windows built in driver thing (no idea how its called), it finished, then crashed the computer with another bluescreen and got me into a boot-loop. I had enough and reinstalled my whole system. That done i thought that was gonna be it, because there didnt seem to be any issues anymore. A day of reinstalling stuff and downloading games again, then the same thing i described in the beginning took place, seemingly random. I tried some more troubleshooting from advice from the internet but nothing helped once again. Since i had warranty left for it, i sent it in 2 weeks ago, received it today and the report said that they switched out my motherboard, since it was seemingly broken. Got into Windows, everything seemed to be working fine, was finally able to play some games for 3 hours and thought that was gonna be it. I closed the game and went to watch some videos - but the same thing happens again. Frustrated i boot up and try again, but after about 5 minutes or less, the problem keeps happening.
But now the weirdest thing: Whenever i have a game called "H1Z1:KOTK" open, i just doesnt happen
The only way i can write this right now is because i got the game running in the background... It sounds stupid i know. I dont want to send in my PC again, holidays are over before i got the chance to enjoy them, you guys are my hope.
The PC has been working for 2 and a half years now, only time something broke it was the power supply.
