BSOD, screen scrambles, programs crash from gaming and sleep mode
This is actually a continuation of a previous thread, linked here: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...ing-games.htmlAfter a while i just gave up on it and decided to live with the crashing. This new crop of problems, however, has raised my ire.
Most frequently problems occur when gaming. In some cases the screen will freeze, and the system will lock up. Other games(TF2), however, cause the screen to either scramble such that the display shows multiple angles cut together. There's often also an audible screech of static accompanying this disruption. After I close the program, other programs begin crashing (mumble, chrome,) and almost nothing will open properly.
The computer also fails to come out of sleep mode correctly. After entering sleep mode, I can only get the display to come out of it if I hit the restart button. At which point, it goes through the start up (BIOS splash screen and all) but will display my previously open programs. Alternatively, hitting the restart button causes it to restart and crash.
I have tested the ram sticks both separately and together. In both cases, it has gone through 3 passes of the tests. I used prime95 to test the cpu, cleaned the heatsink after the temps were high, performed the prime test again, and observed reasonable temps. The video card that was in the system previously was removed and replaced with a 7850. Really at this point, I'm thinking its the mobo I installed, but I have no real expertise. Any help is appreciated.
