Black screen. No warning. No BSOD.
My wife was surfing the web using IE, she had two documents open in Word. I had BTD5 [flash game] running in a Opera window for about 8-9 hours, and the game does put a bit of a load on a single core.
After [having the game open] about 5 hours, I changed my power options to Full Power, and it's been customized to be the same as my normal Power Saver, but it will not sleep.
While waiting for a page to load, the screen went black [monitor went into standby] and that was it. Fans were running full tilt. I checked the batteries of the mouse & kb, and they were good, but the computer would not respond. I had to hold the power button to reboot.
I DL'd and am currently running MemTest86+ to see if it's a stick gone bad, but no clue as to the cause. I haven't had a BSOD since I last played with overclocking. NO BSODs otherwise.
When the machine runs for a week, it seems to get more and more unstable, programs crash and such, but not the entire system.
Advice?
