I went upstairs to do something and came back 1 minute later and my monitor was black. It said no signal detected or whatever. Everything is powered, I can see the CPU fan moving (see through side panel). I have a feeling it's the GPU, since for a month now I've gotten the occasional BSOD.
I've had the computer for well over a year. Also I brought back the speed from 3.6 GHz to stock 3.2 GHz a few weeks ago.
As of right now I'm unplugging everything and reinstalling the GPU. Any suggestions?

Ok I just replugged the power connector to my GPU, didn't take the whole thing out. I'll power it on in a few secs.

Hopefully this gets rid of the Blue Screens as well.
Re seating things solves most hardware issues. Just like how power cycling the PC solves software issues.
After so many power and heating cycles the pins on hardware become loose and don't make a full contact. Which can result in loss of video and blue screens.

I guess ignore this thread and stay on the Hardware & Software one. Sorry for making two, but the problem in this thread and the one in the H & S one are different, but related.
