It's been almost 3 months since I built my brand-new PC, and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
Though yesterday, for the third time in three months, while playing Word Of Warcraft, the monitor shut off, and from the repeating sounds heard through the speakers I could also tell that Windows was crashed.
I'm thinking about a slightly faulty graphics card, but I'm not going to RMA it without being sure it's faulty, given I don't have any replacement to use in the meantime.
What do you think will be the best troubleshooting strategy? Given the rarity of the crashes it may take ages to go by exclusion by attempting to replace VGA, PSU, memory or other components and see if it stops crashing.
Maybe there's a possibility of a buggy driver or BIOS, though I'm using the latest stable versions available at the time I built the machine.
The specs are on my signature, thanks for any reply.
