When I first got the computer the gpu wasn't even being detected, its as if it wasn't there. I switched it to the other slot on my motherboard, an asus z68, and it was able to detect the card. However, I still had problems.
Maybe. The graphics card seems to run the games fine, at least while the monitor is working. Once the screen goes black, I restart my computer then can play the game for however long once I start it up again. But then when I want to play again, maybe a couple hours later, the monitor blacks out in the first few minutes. Then the same process.
It's not factory overclocked. I am currently on driver 285.62 and have tried the most recent beta drivers. The problem happens for all the drivers I've tried. Thanks for the quick reply.
Occasionally and randomly when I am playing certain games such as Skyrim or Bf3 my monitor goes black but my pc stays on. There is a loud fan-type sound and the game audio continues for a moment. I then have to restart my computer. This generally happens 15-30 minutes into the game. I have a gtx 560 ti, no overclock, an i5 2500k, 750w power supply, and 8 gb of ram. I have monitored the gpu and the temps don't go above 60-65. This is a brand new computer and any help in fixing it would be apprieciated.
An i5 2500k is great. The gtx 560 ti is a very good mid-high range graphics card that can run battlefield 3 on high/ultra. It is about 240$. I would recommend 8 gb of ram. Cyberpower.com is a good place to build a pc. They have some good deals and free shipping on select pcs. Good luck, just remember to research a lot before buying.
I would definitely recommend and intel cpu, you can get an i5 that preforms great for a good price. For a gpu i would recommend the gtx 560 ti, it can play battlefield 3 on high/ultra. Cyberpower is a good website to get deals. There are some coupons you can find online for their site that give discounts. Hope this helped.
Thanks everyone. I'm probably not going to play on max AA, so I should have a good fps on ultra. Certainly far better than an xbox will give. I will probably oc it too, if needed.
