This is related to the problems I had before but since the computer finally died, I think it was needed to start a new topic.
Problems before:
Video output crap-outs whenever the moniter cable was moved (probably not related)
Frequent crashes in WoW whenever I used a UI mod in the capital city
WoW crashes where all the colors on the screen would smear and get horribly corrupted, background music would keep going.
WoW crashes where all the colors on the screen would smear and get horribly corrupted, rest of the computer would lock up.
Random black polygons pulled out into some far away location on certain characters from certain angles (happened the night it almost died from heat, and last night before it died for good)
Hard lockups on the desktop
Hard drive clicked (only once, not terribly concerned about it)
CD drives are hit or miss, work some days fine, work other days sporadically, work other days not at all.
Problems now:
Horrendously corrupt images when I bring it up, think picasso spraypaint colors, which then moves to what looks like a zoomed in image of a TV screen with red/green/blue rectangles everywhere.
Brings up the first mobo screen in the boot process and hangs there
Right now I'm thinking CPU as most likely culprit, followed by video card, motherboard, and then some PSU problems backing the real one up. Anybody have any ideas? Nothing was overclocked, for the past 3 weeks temps have been fine and under control. Before that it was in a SFF, and the thermal paste on the cpu somehow managed to evaporate (only way I know how to explain it) and temps shot up to 85C load, and it was about a day before I noticed it running that hot.
