I think it may be a GPU unfortunately, and i dont have the money to replace it :/

This has happened quite a few times. I have a new motherboard, RAM and PSU since then. So i'd assume it's the GPU.
Is there any work around to this issue? Could it possbily be something else?

Here's some other things that occur during this;
-I always have nightlight on. It turns off after it blacks out, but in the settings it shows that its still on.
-I dont have the adrenaline software anymore. I uninstalled it thinking it would fix my issue.
-Sometimes the PC would generally just restart after it freezes and blacks out
-Audio still plays, you can hear little pop sounds during it though. I cant explain the sound

RYZEN 5 2600 CPU
AMD RX 5600 XT GPU
16GB DDR4 3000MHZ RAM
AORUS B450 ELITE MOTHERBOARD
CX 550M POWER SUPPLY

heres some video footage video
 
Solution
Then probably the easiest thing to do would be to try the GPU in another machine. It also could be a PSU issue....but as you said....two bad PSUs? ....but it's possible.

Have you checked temps?
It could also be a power supply issue.
You could also try it in another machine.


What software can I use to check the temperature?

And this has happened on two power supplies, the previous and current one. Unless they are both not good enough it would be strange if it's still a PSU issue.

42 idle is normal....Afterburner will display both GPU and CPU temps


was just about to reply to you and then it happened. froze, screen goes black, but this time it never turned back on and kind of went into a stand by state. keyboard and mouse rgb wasnt on but the PC was. Nothing happened when i moved the mouse/typed on the keyboard

Yeah.. problem is I dont have another machine to try the GPU on. Do you think a possbile solution would be to downlock the GPU?
