Gfx slow and then BSOD.
2 Nights ago I was listening to music, watching a youtube video, with World of Warcraft running in the background. Monitor blacked out (no BSOD), sound and all hardware interaction stopped, computer still had power. Forced computer off via power button, and the booted again. It simply entered back into that same state: Powered with no noticable activity, including no POST beeps. Tried to boot again 10 mins later and it posted just fine.
Just a half hour ago, I was playing Warcraft and I noticed that my FPS was significantly lower than usual (40% lower give or take). Did some brief troubleshooting but found nothing so I ignored it, I figured it was just high server population in a large city. My comp soon after BSOD'd, and then rebooted. It posted and booted fine, but while it was at the post screen I forced it to shutdown to let it cool off. Came back ~10 mins later and booted, no POST, same as 2 nights ago. Shut it off, booted again and it posted and loaded into the OS.
Might be worth noting that when I ran chrome it gave me an error saying "User profile corrupted. Unable to load your settings." (Not an exact quote, post-BSOD)
- x64 Ultimate
- the original installed OS on the system
- full retail version
- All hardware with the exception of the peripherals, HDDs and video card are < 2 months old. Video card is probably about 1 1/2 years at this point.
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?): This installation is about a month old. Had some troubles with my old PSU dying and surging the mobo. Replaced the mobo and PSU and have had no problems until now.
Any help is appreciated.
