Solved Plz help, monitor randomly shuts off/system still on

[Fumz]

It's time to get on the phone and call a friend... You'll only need his/her card for 10 minutes... that is if you can't snag one from somewhere else in the house. Let's find out for sure if it's the card or the board.

Still I think it's odd the system doesn't BSOD?

Agreed, it's very odd... but together I think we've covered just about all the bases we can without the benefit of another card to test. I don't want to suggest spending money until we're sure of the problem.

Well system does crash, at least i think so since it replays last sound over and over, however, it does not shut down (and video cards fan goes nuts) and due to monitor loosing signal first i cant really tell what exactly happened.


I sent the card back to manufacturer ( its still under warranty ) so they can tell me if something is wrong with it..

P.S.

THANK YOU so much guys for helping me with this nightmare

Ok Zet, post back when you get it back.
If your systen was did crash you would have the Blue Screen of Death, no sound or anything. "Windows has shut down to protect your system or some meesage like that

This is why I'm slightly leaning toward a PSU issue. Also, those cards normally run that hot, that's actually not bad for that type of card.

Everything else looks normal. At this point, you're gonna have to test the system with a spare GPU, or spare PSU. If you can't do either, maybe you have a local shop that will look at it for a few bucks?

I had a bad GTX260 and it would just lock the machine up and the last sound would just play over and over for a few seconds and then I'd have to hit the reset button on the PC.
But mine didn't shut down the monitors, just had a frozen corrupted image on the screens.

The OP has decided it was his card and is sending it back to mfgr.

 

[Zet1988]

it was the video card, they didnt know what was wrong with tit so they send me

ATI Radeon™ HD 5750
Newegg.com - XFX HD-575X-ZNFC Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

not sure if its actually better tho

 

[Britton30]

Cool, it has some great specs and GDDR5 memory. Let us know how it works.

 

[Zet1988]

Works alright, i think Nvidea had better graphics though... and while the problem with loosing signal is solved, there is another problem with this card.

Only in few games and in browser (firefox) once in awhile it seems like it encounters some error or something and BSOD comes up...

 

[Britton30]

Glad the new card is working. Have you tried to overclock it? That could cause BSOD's. Also some people have reported problems with the new Firefox 5.0, try going back to the previous one and see if that helps. Some FF plugins are buggy too.

For your BSOD issues follow this: Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions Note: you'll need to post in the Crashes and Debugging forum.
