For a while I had an issue with my PC when I'd play a graphically intense game for too long (Deus Ex: Mankind Divided/Ghost in the Shell First Assault) all output would stop and it would become unresponsive, I assume some form of hardware crash (wouldn't give me a blue screen, the screens would just go a solid colour and all audio would stop). At this time all fans would still be running aside from the Graphics Card ones, so a month or so ago I took it out to clean it up, which fixed it mostly.A week or so ago, these crashes started up again in full, but would occur at any time. Near to this time I started using Google Chrome again (for some reason my PC didn't like it for years before now, it just wouldn't work properly), but this time the Graphics Card fans would still be running. Also, in the last couple days I updated my graphics driver to make sure it's not an issue, but hasn't helped.I've heard it is likely a hardware problem, but I have no idea of what component and if it can be fixed without spending money on a replacement. It's a bizarre problem, but it's super annoying and a massive pain so if anyone knows a solution I'd be forever in their debt!Specs: CPU: Intel i5-3570K Motherboard: GigaByte Z77-D3H Hard Drive: Toshiba MQ01ABF050H (a hybrid drive) Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series RAM: 8GB OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (I also use 2 monitors)Software in frequent use (in case it's relevant): Wallpaper Engine SpeedFan Rainmeter Steam Firefox
