Figuring out what causes the problem

[0tz]

This is regarding my second rig. The first thing happened is when I copy pasted a file to My Documents, my pc suddenly freezes and I am getting no response at all ( Ive done Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Ctrl+Esc and still no response ) so I rebooted my computer. Second and third thing is when I am playing Warcraft, the screen suddenly blacks out but it has still the sound and responding. So I press Alt+F4, and when it returned, it looks like this. Please click link and download the screenshot ( TGA format, sorry I do not know how to upload a picture which can be viewed directly ).

I thought Warcraft has the problem so i reinstalled it but still the same Im experiencing those problems.

Even now, I browsed on Program Files, when I clicked it, the screen blacked out then came back again.. I know this is not okay. Im troubled which causes the problem.. I shall give every full details I can ...

could be alot of things. your power supply going bad. your ram is slack in the slot. your ram is failing. your hdd power cord is slack, any of everything could be loose, lol. power down your system and make sure all the wires are in properly. make sure your video card is in properly. now u have an elite group mobo. i dont like them because i bought one of their boards by mistake a long time ago and guess what, when my pc shuts down the mouse remains powered, only thing is that back then i did not know cuz i had a ball mouse, now that i have an optical mouse i realise that ecs is sh1t. i tried every possible option in the bios to fix that problem of mine but it cant fix.

back to your problem, check the big capacitors close the the cpu and also those on the video card. if you see any deformations or swelling of leakage then just replace the capacitors. you could do that yourself with a soldering iron and some solder.

Ok Ill do that later and try to find out which is the problem...As of now, this rig is running fine...The time I started my PC again after last night, Windows gave me a prompt that it has recovered from a serious error. Anything got to do with my OS?
