Motherboard or PSU issue?
Guys ,
Been tinkering around with my pc , last week i brought a new 3TB Hard drive , when i installed it the system seemed very sluggish , and on occasions s i got a MBR1 error when re-booting , After some research i realized all my drives were in incorrect sata ports and in the bios is was set to IDE instead of AHCI , So i went to take out my 7970 and i think i accidentley pulled it out with too much force , as i thought i pushed down the release lever , however....i think i may of pulled out the PCI Ex port from the motherboard slightly , i carried on anyway connecting the drives to the right ports , and the installed the o/s , After loading all my programs and games back on , every now and then the system just re-booted and gave me no error signs , I can play some games like max payne , skyrim dirt , but there are a selected few that cause the system to re-boot like crysis2 , and re-boot will happen when there is no load on the pc , Ive tried to back (...... pc just re-booted while is was typing this - thanks to chrome i can carry on ) track and the changes ive have made recently are updated bios ( successfully ) installed new hard drive. Ive run the event viewer , but dont really understand it , so i am wondering if i have screwed over my motherboard or its a power issue now ive added an extra hard drive , btw , i have not had any bsod.... any ideas??
Thanks
