I posted this before but I didn't get a solution so I want to ask again this problem seems to come up randomly.
When playing games, from less than an hour to a few hours my screen has turned brown then it goes to black, before going back to the game. Sometimes I have to restart the game as nothing is shown. Sound still can be heard from my game and music etc.
The game I have problems with this so far are: Rocket League, Dota 2, Smite. Games like Warframe and CSGO doesn't seem to have this problems for me. And parts that I know aren't causing this problems are my MOBO, CPU, RAM since I changed all of those even when this brown screen is occuring. I have also reinstalled GPU drivers and are up to date. Another thing that I noted that it might be a DX9 problem since these games all uses DX9. I would also like to note that my monitor is at least 6 years old and I have no idea if that might be the cause.
