PC Crash to black screen with delayed sound looping no BSOD message
Hi,
I've had computer problems for the past 3 months although I thought I had fixed it until just tonight I've tried to play Counter-Strike : Global Offensive and within 10minutes of gameplay the pc crashes to a black screen and I can still hear people on ventrilo for a couple of seconds before the sound loops into a glitchy mess. The screen turns black and I have to do a hard reset in order to re-start the PC. No BSOD message appears and only sometimes does a log appear when I use the program BlueScreenView.
Upon restarting PC and reconnecting to my game it took less than 5 minutes each time to crash to a black screen. In the past I was plagued with BSOD/random black screen crashes similiar to this and a memtest result indicated faulty RAM. I replaced my 2x4GB g.skill DDR3 RAM and have not had trouble for the past 3 weeks. I have also recently re-formatted my SSD and downloaded the newest Nvidia drivers but the PC still crashes, occasionly even whilst browsing the web and whilst the PC is idling.
My temps for my GPU/CPU are very stable and are low sitting at about ~40C idle and 50-60 at load. both are running at stock speed and are not overclocked. I ran the program and will include a .zip of what is going on and hopefully one of you will be able to help me. The GPU is only 9 months old and is still under warranty.
One last thing to note was there was always a loud ticking noise with my front fan as a bit of the dust mesh guard near the front panel came loose and was hitting the intake fan. I was listening to music when i heard a crunching noise and then silence and since then I had a look in BIOS to see that Fan #2 was N/A for it's RPM leading me to believe the intake fan is broken.
Whilst this happened the morning before my main troubles, I played for around 10 hours that day with 0 issues and temps were perfectly fine. If the fan is somehow causing this, it is not because of temperatures because I'm sitting around ~50C playing CS;GO on both GPU/CPU.
