So, I've posted this on reddit already but didn't get much help, sorry if this is a problem around here but I am desperate.
I had:
Z170-A
i5 6600k
2x8 GB Kingston HyperX 2400 Mhz RAM
R9 380 4 GB
1Tb Seagate
650W FSP PSU
I changed to (one by one)
Z390P
i7 9700k
2x8 GB Kingston HyperX 2400 Mhz RAM - tested it multipe times with windows memtest and mem86 too, all passed with 0 error
RX 580 8 GB
Same winchester (tested it multiple times with Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows)
650 W Cooler Master Bronze
So, I started to get black screen while gaming (or during GPU stresstest). After going black, the screen had a message "NO VGA SIGNAL". For a few minutes sounds would still play, I could talk on discord, but after that it froze and the PC restarted.
I thought maybe the plug is an old one, so I plugged it in another one, nothing changed. Tried my girlfriend's screen, and it happened again. I laughed like a maniac and I plugged our TV on it (with HDMI) and it worked.
On the TV the problem does not exist, I can play for hours, and nothing is wrong. My girlfriend's PC has the same type of screen and same type of GPU. My PC crashes with both monitors, hers runs fine with both monitors.
I have no heat problems, the maximum heat was around 50-55°C when I got the crash. I have not overclocked anything yet, and I only OC'd the previous CPU for 11%.
I am getting crazy, please, someone, help!

- I thought it was a GPU problem, so I swapped my R9 380 for a (brand new) RX580. My monitor is a bit old, so I had to buy an adapter to connect my VGA plug to my HDMI slot in my new GPU.
- (I also bought a new case with 2 more fans I wanted for a long time but did not do it)
- Changing the GPU (and chassis+fans) did not solve the problem, and nothing changed.
- So I guessed it was a PSU problem, and I swapped my old 600W for a (brand new) Cooler Master 650W Bronze. Installed it, used the new PSU's own cable, and it did not solve the problem.
- The next suspect was RAM, so I tested them 6 times, it did not find any problem, so I left that be.
- Tried to install the GPU in another PCI slot. The PC did not start at all, so I guessed it was the motherboard which was fcking with me the whole time! Since I couldn't buy any motherboard what supported my good ol' I5 6600k I bought a (brand new) Z390P with an i7 9700k. The problem is still not solved.
- I formatted the winchester (again) installed win10 (again) updated windows, installed GPU driver, motherboard chipset, updated BIOS, and still, my problem lives on.
