I have a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 case, and it has a little built in fan controller on the front panel that changes the voltage between three different levels. Whenever I go into adjust it, my computer will black screen after moving the switch. Particularly, it seems to happen when I abruptly go from the lowest voltage to the highest or vice versa.

I never noticed this happening before I installed a new RX 580 into my system. Previously I had a GTX 970 with no issues. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on?

It seems to be an issue somehow relating to the RX 580 because when I plug into the display output of my motherboard or a different GPU my computer stops black screening. Another thing that's weird is my current RX 580 is a replacement, the previous one also caused this issue. So unless I have really bad luck and both the cards are faulty in the same way, there must be something else going on here.
