So, while my computer was under heavy load (like playing battlefield 3) my computer would go to a back screen, and tell me that it shut off due to PSU current protection and said it was likely due to an broken or failing PSU. I decided to RMA my powersupply, and when I got the replacement in I was still getting these errors. I searched it up, and asked Dave about this error, and apparently it just kinda happens and that I should turn off the protection in the BIOS settings. My pc ran fine for a few weeks, but now it will just randomly make the screens go black, but I can still hear audio through WMP. I'm thinking it might be the video card, I've since made the fan curve a bit more aggressive, and it kinda helps but I would like to hear your guy's opinion.
Short version: My computer used to tell me that PSU is dying, I RMAed it, still gives me that error. Turned off that setting, now screen just goes black, but i can still hear audio. Me thinks its video card, what you think and how fix?
