HELP - Faulty Graphics Card or is it the Drivers?

[Tankers65]

Recently I have been experiencing a "no signal" message then cuts to a black screen on my monitor when I am playing games (particularly fortnite), and while the screen is off, the last sound that was heard from the screen is frozen and continuous. I have also recently downloaded Geforce Experience to capture my gameplays, and had updated my driver as it had stated that there was one available. I had tried to rollback my driver to the previous version before the update, but I am still experiencing this problem. I am out of ideas as this is my first computer that I have built and not having a lot of experience. Thank you in advance!

This is my current system build:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Quad-Core Processor 3.50 GHz
RAM: Ballstix Sport LT 8GB (4x2)
Graphics Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 1060
HDD: Seagate 1TB Barracuda
PSU: Corsair CX 650M (650 Watts)
Motherboard: ASRock AB350M PRO4

Only real way is to try on another machine. If you get same issue then I would say video card, but even then it sounds like graphics card to me. For a driver issue you would usually get a Blue Screen on it.

could it be that the card is overheating? I have an app that tells me my levels, and I had looked on the internet and people are saying that the levels that I have are normal for this gpu?

I also do not have the full version of windows 10, and I heard that this may also cause some problems?

Umm full version? What do you mean? that it isn't licensed?

either way that shouldn't be an issue. GPU's these days are really good about throttling themself down if they over heat so that they don't damage themselves.

This post is still up for discussions, I am just trying to figure out what else I can do
