I made a thread about this months back here, but the problem is a bit different now.
Basically, my screen goes black and the video card turns off (the normally green light on the card turns red), while the rest of the computer seems to stay on. Fans keep running, lights stay on, etc, but there's no sound anymore so it's not just a display issue.
What actually triggers this crash is very strange. Over the past few months, I've gone weeks without any crashes while doing light gaming, while other times it will crash every time I start up WoW. I find that I can usually make it crash by playing Crysis 2 or running Furmark for a couple minutes, exiting the program, and then just waiting 10-20 seconds on the desktop.
The first thing I did was RMA the original GTX 280 and get my current one in return. I have tried two different Corsair HX620 PSUs and a PCP&C Silencer 750. I ran memtest for a few hours a while back with no errors. Nothing is overclocked in my system.
Even though I already replaced the video card, evidence seems to point in its direction since it's the only thing I see acting abnormally. Anyone have any other ideas? I've been dealing with this for months, and a solution would be really, really nice.
