Behind you.
Hello, I'm CrazyKilla.

I was playing Battlefield 4 for about 15 minutes, after I was finished I closed the game and my PC just died, as if I got a blue screen without the actual blue screen, fan speed of psu went to max and stayed that way until I restarted it multiple times, none of those times did it actually boot or display anything on the monitor.
Now when I start up my pc it turns on but nothing happens, display doesn't even come on and keyboard and mouse light up and turn off again. What's up with this?

Hi CrazyKilla,

Do you get any beep sound when the PC is booting up. Try to reseat all the RAM sticks back to slots. Check for any loose cables inside the cabinet. Start the PC without any peripheral (Keyboard only).

Keep us posted.

In addition,

Power supply took a #2 it sounds like.

It would be a good idea to test the system with another one if you can pull one out of another machine or if you just have a spare one around.

Before doing that, unplug the machine from the wall for a bit then try it again.

Opened up the machine and checked some cables, found nothing, plugged in power and display cable and it booted, first time before hitting the lig in screen I got really weird RGB matrixy style glitches, rebooted and now it's in the log in screen, seems to be very low default resolution (1024 x 768). Opened up Nvidia experience and I had to reinstall drivers. Everything seems to be koolasice now. Technology is so unreliable.

Glad you got it going again well.

ehhh, I wouldn't say that though. All of my machines are extremely reliable. Usually I have months of uptime on them, until I can't bare to not reboot anymore, so Windows Update completes. Or if I'm tinkering and need to reboot etc...

If something like that happens again (and if you think you can tackle it) - take apart the system entirely and rebuild it from scratch.

FFS. Switched monitor cable from Dvi-I to Dvi-D and back, booted and it works again, display res is max again (1920 x 1200) and drivers are installed. I'll report back if something goes wrong again.

I seem to be having the same problem I had when I got this card, PC crashing after every time I close a game.

PC crashing after every time I close a game.

Possibly a thermal issue. Next time it won't boot (after playing), give it an hour to cool down and see if that temporarily fixes your issue. I also assume you have properly cleaned the inside and your fans are adequate to control the temps during gameplay. You can also check your event logs for thermal events and monitor you graphics card temperatures as well.

I don't think it's a thermal issue since I played far cry 3, hitman absolution and battlefield 4 max settings for atleast 15-30 minutes, everything is fine until I quit to main menu or exit game. If I let pc rest for about 7 minutes it boots up absolutely fine.
