So my computer has been acting up lately upon start up. Random rpm spikes from the fans and sounding like its working hard. Before powering down to clean out the dust, there was some update that occurred on the shutdown screen. I took out the video card to clean off excess dust and then reinstalled it. Booted the computer up and it would freeze on the windows start up logo screen. I manually turned off the computer and turned it back on only to be brought to a windows error recovery screen giving me two options. One is to start up regularly (which just freezes on the logo screen again) and the other option to run some start up tests. When I choose that option, it'll start to load up before the monitor just shuts off and the computer sits idling. Not shut off as in losing power but just the same blank screen as if you had turned the monitor on before turning on the computer. I think my video card crapped out on me but not too sure. Here is what I'm running
