Question Gpu random shutdown, Unstable?

[akenixx]

Hey!

Let me introduce myself for a moment.

My name is Akenixx, I'm a 25 years old dude from the netherlands. i really like technology in my spare time.

I got a problem where my pc craches while playing any demanding game.
my monitor goes black at a random moment while i could still hear some sound of the game, discord, etc for 10 second before my pc goes in ""standby"".
the strange thing is that all my components are still running while my monitor has no signal.
i found a temporary solution with msi afterburner.
in msi ab i need to set my gpu power limit, core clock and memory clock to the lowest point possible for me to able to play some of those games.

here are my specs:

I would say that your PSU is dying. If it was the graphics card, I think it should keep running and/or quit the game showing some graphics driver error.
