So I read somewhere that you have integrated graphics and maybe this might cause problems.
At this point, I really don't know what the cause of the problem is, I'm quite certain we have gone through all things, I'm not sure if you should stress test the CPU to see if that's the problem here.
I don't think I have integrated graphics anymore? Didn't I replace that when I put in the new graphics card I have?
I also could try switching out the current CPU with my older one that came with the PC to see if that helps.
Please do because from my point of view we've gone through most things that could have caused this problem/issue/error.
You can also perform a full malware and full antivirus scan but I doubt it has anything to do with this.
And about the integrated graphics, well yes it's not in use when you have another GPU but it is still there lurking.
But it might explain why you had such a hard time with games if the integrated graphics were enabled and not your other card.
Other than that you could use Prime95 and follow this guide, if the computer shuts down then we know the culprit:
Prime95
If nothing happens and it has been running for 3+ hours then I think you can shut it off.
Cheers, Boris :)
Hey Borris,
Sorry I haven't replied in over a week, school started up and I have had to use my computer for a lot of work.
Would you recommend switching out the CPU's first or should I try to run Prime95 to test the current CPU first?
I ran Prime 95 for 3+ hours and there were no crashes or anything unusual. The temperatures weren't high, everything was in the 30-40 C range.
I will have to try replacing the CPU when I can.
Thank you again so much BorisTheAnimal for the continued help. :)
Diagnostics Test
Malware scan
Please run a threat scan with Malwarebytes*, a full scan with your AV, scan your system with Adwcleaner, Kaspersky TTDSKiller, ESET Online Scanner and SuperAntiSpyware
Note*(Uncheck trial version in the installation process)
Please upload the scan logs.
Just my two cents worth and sorry if I have missed something but I didn't see the driver link for that card so I would try this Download Drivers the self detect one.
In addition to Axe's suggestion I would personally be very tempted to run this too as it doesn't involve Windows as such Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10
Now the scan can take some time depending on the speed of the system but I have found it really good at winkling out stuff that the other s don't find. There is another rescue disk by Bitdefender that too works in the same way but I prefer this one.
