Computer wont boot

[Ides of March]

Was playing DOD:S last night computer froze. the screen went a off blue color hard reset and would not boot. Unplugged the power and waited a few seconds and now it boots up but if i play a game or restart computer it makes me unplug the power again to fix it. Currently Reformatting and hoping this will fix it :facewall:

There's not much help we can give you as you already have chosen to format.

But if it continues, definitely give us an update.

I can only guess something is/was failing or you had some sort of malicious file(s).

Too bad you didnt tell us before formatting :/


Im guessing something to do with drivers that caused the BSOD

Power supply problem possibly?

From the info provided, it could be just about anything. It only does this when gaming or rebooting? Please list us some of your hardware specs to give us a better idea.

Check all connections to the motherboard as well. Once happened to me and I found out the huge mobo connector was about to fall out LOL! I was surprised it even booted up at all.

take off any overclocking you have. troubleshoot from there.
