Edit: My PSU died, so I assume that was the cause of the issue this whole time, a half functioning power supply.
This issue occurs whether I am gaming or not, but gaming causes it to occur more often. In fact, my pc crashed typing this post so I'm currently rewriting it all.
When I go to reboot the computer, I notice CPU fans 1 and 2 (top/back) are off. I'm not sure if that means anything, but yesterday I had to reseat my GPU/ram etc. to get my computer bootable due to this issue. I'm not really sure what to do, I've tried many things. I've had this black screen issue for months now..
RAM is fine, memtest doesn't detect any issues. I have tried using only one of the ram sticks at a time as well. I have tried reseating the GPU, putting it into a different slot. Newest GPU drivers. Temps are good, all under 40 idle. Tried Windows 7, Windows 8. HDD and SSD. Making sure all the PSU cables are fully in their place, along with every other cable in the PC. Have taken out all of the PC parts out and rebuilt my PC. Booted PC without CMOS battery. Installed a mobo speaker, and all is normal there. I've tried using the other GPU video headers.
Furmark gets my GPU to 82c under maximum load. My cpu I believe gets to 64c. I can't find any memory dumps, since it's not a BSOD. But I could potentially be looking in the wrong places, Event Viewer only tells me that the PC turned off unexpectedly.
I'm thinking of sending the GPU to MSI, it's still good for warranty and all but I don't even know what exactly is causing this weird issue.
