Disconnect any broken fans and use onboard video temporarily. Run the portable zip edition of CDI to check HD health: http://crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html Also, run http://www.memtest.org/ overnight to check for RAM errors. If the HD and RAM are okay and you're still getting freezing with onboard video then I'd try a new PSU.

Ularg posted:How long should memtest run if not overnight. So far I've ran it for an hour, it is hard to keep track of how much it has done and how much to go. 0 errors so far, though. Two passes is what I like to do but your RAM is probably okay. The HDs look okay too. Ularg posted:I actually have zero idea on how to switch to onboard video short of taking out my GPU and I'm afraid I'll end up screwing something up, especially if I leave in or try to uninstall the GPU drivers in the process. You'd just have to take the GPU out and then plug monitor into motherboard video. If you don't want to do that yet you can run http://www.wagnardsoft.com/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu to remove all GPU drivers and then install the latest Nvidia ones.

Ularg posted:Is this like a thing where Nvidia regularly fucks up drivers? I remember one last year that got people stuck in boot loops. Yea, it's an issue from time to time. Especially if you have to keep using the latest ones to keep up with all the new games. Driver issues and driver conflicts (not just with video cards) have been a scourge for a long time.

Ularg posted:If it's the PSU going bad wouldn't it affect every recent game I try to play it on and not just a few specific ones? Not sure what to do at this point again. A failing PSU can be very random so at times it's hard to diagnose. You can still use onboard video temporarily without having to RMA the PSU yet.
