My monitor would go black screen randomly while making weird noises, but the power seems to be on, and my computer is still on. But when i try to change the num lock, to see if the keyboard was working, it wasn't changing colors, neither did my mouse dpi/color changer. So it seems like my computer is frozen as well. The monitor seems to work fine once i reboot. What would be the issues? this started happening after i overclocked my gpu, it seem stable but crashed and did the same thing yesterday. But this time the settings were stock settings and it crashed while i was playing league of legends. If this also helps, i had to restore the computer when it had crashed during the overclock, since it kept black screening, i thought the problem would be fixed when i put it to stock, but its still crashing it seems. Thank you for your time.

After a bit of testing, it seems to only black screen after about 10-20min of playing any games, i can watch videos for a long time fine, but when i try to game it black screen, and audio freezes and makes a infinite loop of jittering sound, a sound most people hear when their audio choke up and loops on the choke noise.

What GPU do you have?
Are you using a custom GPU fan profile?

You can try uninstalling and re-installing the graphics card drivers just to see if that kind of "resets" it.

I'm still thinking your GPU is overheating. Ramp your fans up until it stays below 70°C while gaming. See if the black screens still happen.

Worst-case scenario ... you damaged your GPU while attempting to overclock it.


I played while checking the temps, the gpu stays under 75c, and the vrm stayes under 79c, but it still crashed

My gpu is Sapphire r9 290 tri-x, it a 95c card so i think 75 is fine. So i updated my windows 10 os, and it seems like it fixed the problem, haven't crashed at all. Its probably cause the crimson driver was not going well with the old windows 10.
