BSOD Help
My computer is a self built model, and I've been having SEVERAL issues with it. So many in fact that I am lost as to how to even begin posting what's been going wrong. I've checked several forums for anyone else that has been having similar issues, but nothing has stood out as a clear fix. I seem to have a mixture of everyones problems.
There are several scenarios that my computer likes to put me through, I will list them in the order that they occur from boot up. Please note that they don't all occur in the same scenario, it depends on the day and how pissed off my computer is.
In order from earliest to latest:
1. when booted, fan of video card will spin, stop, spin, stop, spin, etc. forever, no post beep. no boot.
2. when booted, fan of video card will spin, and then will speed up to an ungodly speed that it never reaches even during the most intense gaming. still boots though and fan slows eventually once logged in.
3. computer shuts off when you press f8 to bring up screen that has the boot options (safe mode) - very strange
4. loading screen of motherboard starts that "three cores were loaded" and then boots, the three cores loaded isn't supposed to be there, I usually see something to the affect of "press 4 for ACC function".
4a. Sometimes after the green motherboard screen finishes loading, a black screen titled "American Megatrends" appears with a list of text, "pres f8 for BBS popup" "press 4 to activate acc function" "Alt-f2 to execute ez flash 2" it states what devices have been detected and then it says at the bottom "enabling unleashing mode failed" "f1 for setup" "f2 to load default and continue"
5. when prompted with "start up windows repair (recommended)", i select okay, and then the computer shuts off completely
6. when I select "start windows normally" the computer shuts off when the little windows design begins to show up.
7. in the off chance that my computer successfully boots, and I log in, and everything loads, there is a chance that the computer will blue screen. Once I restart, and everything loads it typically doesn't blue screen again ( I don't have a log of that ).
8. While playing games such as Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Rift, Modern Warfare 2, the screen will glitch with several blocky colors and then restart or BSOD.
9. While playing Rift, Video card goes ape shit and fan spins faster than with other intensive games, even when I lowered the settings.
Attached to this post is a zip file with the required files (if I made a mistake while following the BSOD posting instructions please let me know)
Thank you for your time and I hope this can be resolved.
