Win 7 Crashing - No error, just colorful lines
I recently built my machine from the ground up and it's been a lot of fun. However, not long after I started using it, it started doing a weird crash. There's no error. No blue screen. Just occasionally vertical lines on one of the two displays I have connected. The computer does not turn off/restart or even sound like it's running extra hard/etc. it sounds like nothing ever happened and it's just whirling away in its 3.1GHz glory.
I thought it might be an issue w/ RC, which I had installed before. But I recently upgraded to the full version of Home Premium, 64-bit and it's still doing it (slightly more than before the upgrade, actually - the crashes were more frequent just after installing RC, then they became less common as time went on, then got worse again when I upgraded to the full version).
I can't find a correlation of a certain program that makes it crash -- it seems completely random. And since there's no program in particular or error code I can take a screenshot of or generate a dump for, I feel kind of at a loss.
I hope someone can help - thanks for reading!!
I put my hardware profile in my account as I signed up, so you can check it out there, though I'm also open to questions if I left anything out.
Thanks again!
