Ok, so i have an ongoing issue. It started in early 2019 and still persists.
I get random black screens that last for a couple of seconds when doing anything from gaming to forum browsing. It happens more some days than others. Some artifacts and black lines show up just before the black screen happens. It is very random, sometimes I can run perfectly for a week without bugs, but sometimes it will black screen 5 times in 30 seconds. My pc is responsive when the screen is black, I can click on things and type in fields and it seems only my display is killed. Sound also continues to play when the screen is blank, making me think my GPU is to blame.
My system specs (1.5yrs old) are as follows:
MSI B350 Gaming Plus motherboard
AMD Ryzen 3 1200 at 3.7ghz 1.275v
G.skill Ripjaws V 2x4gb 3200mhz ddr4 ram at rated specs.
PNY Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 2gb with drivers from late February. Overclocked +100 core +575 Mem
Corsair cx550m 550watt PSU
Windows 10 PRO 64bit
BenQ GW2270 1080p 60hz VA monitor connected using HDMI female to DVI male.
I have installed different gpu drivers, no difference.
I have removed the stable CPU and GPU overclocks, no difference.
I have used a DVI cable and an HDMI to DVI cable with the same results.
I even tried tearing the video card down and making it dust free and as good as new, no difference
CPU and GPU are cool in games. GPU and cpu run in the high 40c range in TF2, not the most demanding but the black screens still happen sometimes in tf2.
The monitor doesn't do this when i use my laptop plugged into it over VGA, so i think its my pc.
