Not sure if it's a graphics card issue or not, I was leaning towards it at the start but not too sure now.
Basically, every so often my 3 monitors screens turn black for about 3 seconds, sound cuts out, sometimes my tabs switch, and weirdly my default sound device changes to something random. I though it was possible that my 3070 wasn't getting enough power (i was using 500W PSU, so it probably wasn't anyway) but after switching to an 850W gold power supply it still had the same problem. Also, one monitor is connected to the motherboard.
It isn't too bothering, it doesn't happen too often, maybe once an hour or so, but I don't want to think I'm damaging any parts or anything is already damaged and needs replacing already. I've changed GPU fan settings recently, I'm seeing if that will fix it, not too sure about this one.
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 vision OC
Asus Prime z490-a
Intel 10700K
Thanks if anyone can help.
Edit: When it happens, it shuts down wallpaper engine, ram and cpu cooler lighting, and all fans turn on high. I think maybe the motherboard is damaged, but not sure why it would be changing what monitor my tabs are on and what is opened on my pc.
Cpu usage spiked, gpu usage dropped to ~0. This is weird
