I recently picked up all new parts for a new pc, only to find out that it wasnt posting at all, stayed up until 3 am putting it together then troubleshooted for 4 hours before taking it to a local store and and finding a day later and $100 lighter that the mobo had a faulty socket, not wanting to touch another motherboard for years after that I simply returned and replaced it at best buy and had the techs install it.
Everything seemed to be working until I started to play some games on it and I noticed it would black screen on a game during anything intense while remaining fully on pumping sound and other stuff which made me think it was a driver issue at first.
I reinstalled windows onto a clean ssd with both studio and game ready drivers , overclocked and underclocked my ram, cpu, and gpu, reseated my gpu, changed it to pcie 4 in the bios, and no I am not using a split cable. I've tried messing with power settings . I'm about ready to take it back to the shop or rma the damn card for a full refund and spend the extra money on a 3080 but those will be more time and money and I just wanna play already after waiting years and years to upgrade and waiting out a pricing crisis, never had this issue with my 1060 and 1600 setup.
I'm at my wits end here and have spent hours looking for answers, I hope somebody here can save my week.
