I should write everything I know about the problem first. 2 days ago my PC started smelling like burning very faintly, I loaded a game up later that day and my PC made a loud noise. I immediately shut my PC down and waited for a bit. I loaded it up later and it was fine and the temperatures of my CPU, motherboard and graphics card are fine. The next day I loaded up starcraft 2 and everything was fine until I actually started a match. When the match finished loading my screen went black, I could hear the sound in the background and after 2 minutes it came back. I shut the game down and didn't play another game that day. Today when I loaded another different game up my screen went black at the main menu and I had to turn my PC off by holding down the power button. I could not hear the game in the background this time but could hear what sounded like one sound looping constantly and very fast. I could ctrl alt delete out of the game this time though.

I have opened up my case and all the fans are working and there is no obvious problem. I removed any dust from inside the case and loaded my PC back up. I loaded up starcraft 2 again and this time I didn't even get to the main menu. As soon as the loading screen had finished my screen went orange for a few seconds and then turned black. Every few seconds the game would flash on the screen for less than a second but then it would turn black again. Every time I shut the game down through ctrl alt delete an error message appeared in my notifications area. It said display driver AMD stopped working and has recovered.

I checked I had the latest driver installed (I did) and then reinstalled it. I am now about to load up starcraft 2 again to see what happens. If anyone has any information about what the problem is I would be very grateful. Thank you.




Update: I just loaded up starcraft 2 and the screen went black immediately. After a few seconds the log in screen appeared but then the screen turned black again after another few seconds. When I used ctrl alt delete to get out I opened the task manager again but this time I saw a programm running called warnigform (the icon was the same as my AISuiteII program which is what I use to monitor my temperatures). Every time the game flashed back on the screen I heard a clicking noise coming from my PC. This happened the last time I loaded up starcraft 2 aswell but it was only 1 click, not a repeated click like this time.

Sounds like your graphics card may be overheating and/or is busted (are the fans on the graphics card itself working?). If you have onboard graphics see if you have the same problem on less demanding games then try those without the graphics card (or try StarCraft II with onboard if it'll even open). If you've got another graphics card laying around or in another computer try that. It's good to be sure what's causing the issue before throwing money at it but chances are replacing it will fix your problem.

My graphics card fan is working fine and it is not overheating at all. It is at a good temperature (I just checked). I have another graphics card and I will put that graphics card in my PC in a few days (I am busy for a bit) and see what happens.

wow, let's take it a little bit slowly shall we?

Burning smell - That's bad.. Most probable culprit is the Power Supply Unit since your graphics card's temperatures were fine. If your pc is pre made, chances are they've put a low quality one and it slowly dies.

Clicking noise - Hm.. Moving parts in your PC: fans and the hard drive. If you leave your case open and the noise comes up again, you should be able to pin point the source. Run CrystalDisk. It's a tool that checks your Hard drive's health.

Games Crashing, Black screen - It's the graphics card. Either it's not getting enough power due to a blown psu or it's broken (or both)
What I suggest is running the system without the graphics card if possible and swapping power supplies.

Burning smell - That's bad.. Most probable culprit is the Power Supply Unit since your graphics card's temperatures were fine. If your pc is pre made, chances are they've put a low quality one and it slowly dies.
I was a little suspicious of that myself, though my thought is it would shut itself down if it was struggling to provide power (that's what mine did in a similar scenario). In my case it made a loud electrical short sound (could be described as a click, but more zappy) and immediately cut all power (and was overheating terribly), but it's possible that these symptoms could suggest a similar issue (assuming that the PSU is completely hopeless and has zero protection features). One thing at a time, though - swapping out GPUs is generally a quicker thing to test. If that isn't an immediate fix then it's probably a power supply issue.

Yeah I think you are right, with a broken PSU most of the times you get random restarts, shut downs e.t.c.
Still definitely a possibility though, I'm sure ones that bad probably do exist. I mean, the one I had was a mediocre brand, but it was a fairly well distributed brand that I recognised (tsunami, to be specific)...some of them have no real brand (so no real expectations), though I haven't had the pleasure of using one like that under any real stress and don't particularly want to risk trying since I might end up with these sorts of problems. However I'm somewhat more inclined to think that the GPU may have been overheating (an issue that particular series apparently often suffers from) or perhaps somehow shorting during the initial failure causing the burning smell, then continuing to fail afterwards without the initial cause still being present. The clicking is still a little puzzling in that case, but we'll find out the answer soon enough. I've been wrong more than a few times...there's a lot of guesswork in these things since there are so many similar symptoms and possible faults to consider. It can take a lot of swip-swapping to be sure you've pin-pointed the culprit.

I have switched my graphics card and it works fine now so that means the problem was with my graphics card. Thankyou so much for helping me with this, I probably would have just sent my PC off to the manuafacturers which would have meant going without a PC for a few weeks. Thanks again :D

Well that's good news. Though make sure you do a substantial amount of testing under load - if you're using a more efficient or less powerful card the PSU might be just scraping through and that may still be a possible concern, though hopefully it was just the card that was the issue. It doesn't hurt to be thorough.
