Hi I built my computer last year for gaming but I've been really busy so I couldn't use it much and because when I run a game such as Skyrim, GTA or something a fan goes loud in my computer then my monitor disconnects and my computer running. I took my graphics card out and ran the a game on motherboard graphics but had to put the graphics on low and my monitor did not get disconnected. My speakers seem to not work either. I don't know if the computer is still running or not when the display is disconnected.
Someone told me it was the power supply not giving it enough power or it could be faulty and I sent it for warranty and they said nothing wrong with it.
Would anyone know what the problem is?
Could it be the graphic card?
Thank you
I'm using:
Graphic card : Powercolor Radeon HD7850 PCS+ 2GB V2 (recently updated drivers)
Power Supply : Corsair GS-600 V2[B]
Running Intel Core i5 3570 windows 7
ASRock H77-PRO4-MVP Motherboard
8GB RAM
Acer S220HQLBD 21.5in Widescreen LED Monitor

Make sure that all of the pins from the power-supply are connected correctly. This most likely is a hardware problem so yeah just check that everything is connected correctly and if the problem persists get a preplacment mobo and/or psu if the guarantee covers faulty hardware.

Your Powercolor Radeon HD7850 PCS+ 2GB has a Minimum System Power requirement of 500W and you said that you are running a corsair 600w power supply.So it should not be that you don't have enough power running to it.
What are you running from you graphics card to your computer? Hdmi/Dvi etc.....
Make sure you have your power connected properly and your graphics card install properly.
When you said you sent it for warranty did you mean you graphics card or your power supply?

Sounds like your graphics card is shutting down for some reason. This can happen if the card overheats. Are you monitoring your temps? How high do they get before it shuts off?
