Hello and welcome!

When did this start, was it with the install of ati 8.11 driver or before.

Have you checked for any virus, trojan, rootkit, bots, etc?

Does device manager show hardware problems?

Have you dusted lately? Really... Check temps...heat is a killer.

all my temps are fine-gpu is showing 43c
cpu-25c
now hardware probs.no virus.

it was after 8-11 install.used different drivers too

trust 570w dual fan pw-5500

Trust.. Never heard of them. Betting they are a bad oem tho. Try with no OC then if that doesn't help get a good psu. I recommend the Corsair 550w, they get stellar reviews.

Go here follow these instructions that erocker has to totally remove the ati software.

See if this works. A fresh re-install never hurts.

yes its an oem build in Greece for a couple of Greek pc chain market shops..... Not to be Trusted!

try a different PSU.... But I also bet your drivers are all messed up... try erockers' driver removal guide and hopefully you 'll be OK!

BTW Welcome to TPU!

Checking the other threads that you have had recently, Shadowfold may be correct or you may have other failing hardware, hd, vid card, etc..

It looks like you been having a torrent of troubles.

I hope the driver re-install works,but you may want to look deeper, or maybe a complete OS rodo in in order.
