  1. Hello, everyone! I wanted to help my friend of her desktop, but even I couldn't figure out what's the real problem she's experiencing. At first, I thought it would be the gpu since it's infinite loop of bsods. Then, later on it became Black screen, so I suggested to play around with the RAMs. Later on, it worked very well with other RAMs, and even when she changed her own RAMs back, it didn't gave her any signs of blackscreens. Then later on, bsods would start happening again. I kinda thought of maybe the mobo is the problem, the sockets of the RAM and the GPU are maybe faulty. It's kind of confusing on how to detect the problem because whatever she does, it will work again later on. Well, this is the whole scenario of what happened that might help you guys find the culprit of the problem. Computer specs: MB: P55-CD53 GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7800series RAM: 4x2g corsair HDD: 1Tb OS: Win 7 "Came back after a two week absence computer was turned off and unplugged. Computer loaded up just fine but after a few hours bsod. Turns comp back on shuts it down properly. Turns back on. Tries to download and install a few updates shut down turn back on. computer goes for a few more hours bsod. Too tired to mess with it again for the night. Turns on shuts down properly. Morning turns on everything is fine loads up to enter pw screen. Suddenly bsod. Tries to reload computer starts cyclying bsod. Shuts down computer. Computer now does not boot. computer turns on lights flash properly but now no longer beeps or loads. All fans turn on. there is no image on monitor(blackscreen). Tries replacing gpu with an older and still working gpu. no change. Tries taking out gpu entirely. no change. Tries cycling out the extra power by unplugging, turning off the psu and holding the power button down for 1 min. no change. friend suggests that it might be the ram. tries taking out ram. only takes out two sticks at a time. no change. realizes later that the ram needs to be arranged a certain way. tries a friends ram and comp turns on. comp does not bsod goes through an entire system file check no bsod or errors. ram is returned to friend. tries turning on comp without any ram. gives proper error beep message. tries arranging two sticks of ram properly works. tries using the normal 4 and no longer works. however computer now gives the ram error beep message. tries all 4 sticks in every combination and every stick of ram works in every slot however will only work with 2 sticks and in a skip one order. -- or -- Computer also cannot check for updates for windows 7. has checked every service all are running as they should still does not work. has tried rebooting in safe mode with networking and checking for viruses. no viruses and windows claims there are no updates to be found. computer bsod days later. takes out ram that was in and replaces with the other two sticks and in the other slots. Works again no bsod. note: computer has worked about 5 years without too much trouble with these same specs. the gpu and psu were replaced soon after I got them about a year." Any help would be pretty much appreciated. Thanks, guys!
  2. Ah.. Okay, man. I will just have to buy a new GPU for now then, to see if it works. My problem is closed for now. I'd also like to commend you, but I just don't know how. Well, Thank you very much, again, for helping me out on my problem.
  3. Is it also the cause of having black screen? Because even if I remove the GPU, it will still give me blackscreen. And yes, I'm already plannng to buy GTX 970M and will modify my heatsink for maxwell cards to fit. I'm just a little bit confused because I've been using the standard graphics(from CPU) eversince I couldn't install the drivers for nvidia(I keep getting bsod when I install nvidia drivers). And so I think that the GPU is not the fault for blackscreen. Plus it boots up to me very well, just that the screen is black, I can't see anything. Also, even when I took out my gpu, it still shows me blackscreen. Shouldn't the standard graphics(from CPU) would take care of it even if I don't have gpu installed? I just don't know the connection of them into having a black screen that's why. Thank you very much for the quick response, btw.
  4. Hello, everyone! This is my very first post on forums. I mainly just do my own research to find out how to fix my problems until I ran into this new problem that I couldn't find or solve. I own an MSi GT780DX-406US. GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 570M(1.5GB) CPU: Intel i7-2670QM RAM: 12GB(DDR3) HDD: 1TB Mobo: MS-1761 OS: Windows 10(upgraded from Win 7 Home Premium) -I used my old monitor(using VGA connector) to connect my laptop for the dual screen. *I only need help finding a way to fix the blackscreen. Everything just seems to work properly, it boots up, I could hear windows 7 startup sound and I can also input my password on startup and it will grant me an access(boots up like 20s). But I just can’t see anything. So my tests and story down below might help anyone to find the culprit of the problem.* Ok, so what happened first was my laptop was tearing in a game of League of Legends causing it to freeze, I had no choice but to force shut down. I restarted, it was fine, logged into the game, and when the teamfight(where the action begins to happen), it started freezing again. And before the freezing, it was like the GPU couldn’t handle it even though I was getting more than 90 fps. It also notifies me about nvidia windows kernel mode driver stopped responding and has recovered. So when I force shut it down again, and when I turned it on, it started giving me DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION and I always get that whenever I turn my laptop on. After a couple of times trying to turn it on, the screen tore down into many screens which is the picture shown below. My screen is new(replaced it few months ago due to the red line that had appeared). I use dual screen after upgrading to windows 10(found out that my old monitor is still working, so I started using it) and I thought it was the problem of the watchdog violation. I had no choice but to reformat everything and go back to windows 7. At first, it worked, I got to see the full screen again after reformatting. However, I keep getting the notification of “display driver stopped responding and has recovered” after updating my drivers and it would freeze me where I had no choice but to shut it down by force. And when I turn it back on, it gave me infinite loop of bsods. So I would always reformat when infinite loop of bsod starts to happen, until it gives me a fullscreen again. And then I would update all my drivers, including the gpu. One time it wasn’t giving me any errors so I tested to play a game that I’ve backed up on my hard drive. It was giving me more than 60 fps, stable, just like before, but then 5 minutes after, the laptop would start freezing and will spam the notification not responding and has recovered. Then it will give me bsods which I would be reformatting again. And after couple of tests, the screen started having tiny red dots on black color side which seems to be a GPU problem. It was just fine but I couldn’t play any games or update my gpu driver anymore(I can’t even install it, it will give me bsod when it restarts, applying the effects of the new installed driver) so I only used it to just watch anime online. One time, it won’t go back to fullscreen anymore, even when I reformat everything, it won’t give me back my fullscreen. Right now, I tried to turn on my laptop but I’m having a black/blank screen(Doesn’t show MSi logo screen nor BIOS, just plain black). And since I know the fault is the GPU or my video card, I'm deciding to buy GTX 970M, upgrading from GTX 570M(the price difference for both aren’t really that much, and I can only find used ones for 570M). But now, it’s just blackscreen, so I’m wondering what could be the next problem or it’s just the GPU thing. I also tried to reseat both cpu and gpu but still doesn’t work. I tried other working RAMs from my friend’s MSi laptops, and it doesn’t seem that it is the fault. Now, I tried to remove the GPU and I’m still having a black screen. So now I’m thinking that it could be the cpu or the mobo that’s faulty. I just don’t know how to test both of them. My budget for now is only at $500 so I’m not quite sure if I could fix this black screen if I would be buying the video card. So if I would ever found out the problem causing of my black screen, then I’d definitely buy an upgrade. However if the mobo is the problem, then I think it would be better to save more and buy a new laptop instead. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much!
