[fil.kalm]

my strix mother board and my strix grapichs card is blinks in red. The problem is whenever i start a game that is demanding on my computer the screens go black and the fans is going crazy on the graphics card. It isnt the temprature ive checked that.
All the driver routines is updated and when the screens go black i just have to restart my computer with the buttom.
Right now the problem is with pubg but i have had it with other games too like rust. i played pubg for a week without any crashes and then
after a while is started to happen.

Powersupply: 500W
Motherbord: STRIX Z270H GAMING
Ram: 16GB

What cpu are you using?
Is anything overclocked? cpu? gpu?

Try lowering gpu OC to Nvidia reference clocks - 1506mhz base/1708mhz boost.

1) If you did update the GPU driver recently, may try to use the DDU to uninstall the gpu driver in safe mode, then reinstall the driver again. After that, try to use the PC to see what happens.

2) If you used the MSI afterburner, try to set the GPU power to 80% or even lower, and try to play the games, if the PC runs fine, also you said the temp is good, so I think the problem is from that PSU, because the PSU may have problem to handle the gtx1060 during the games.

How do i download DDU ? I clicked the link and extracted the file but how do i start the program ?

After extract the DDU to the USB or other drive, clik the "Display Driver Uninstaller" to run the program.

Like I said before "If you used the MSI afterburner, try to set the GPU power to 80% or even lower, and try to play the games, if the PC runs fine, also you said the temp is good, so I think the problem is from that PSU, because the PSU may have problem to handle the gtx1060 during the games."

And yes, buy the top end 500W PSU you should be fine.
