Windows 10 (Tried both a pro install on an ssd and a home install on a hdd)

I'll be in the middle of an Overwatch or CSGO comp match, then suddenly my monitors will go to sleep, sound conitunes to work fine, then a few seconds later, inputs would result in an error sound and all other sound stopping. (guessing it's the desktop/gpu crashing)

This isn't the only time I've had this issue. I've had this issue with a 760 in a previous build just a couple months ago, it just went away with time, I'd like to actually fix it this time instead of just waiting it out, otherwise I'd have to stop gaming as I can't risk anymore match disconnects from rebooting my desktop several times in a match now.

I have used DDU to remove drivers and install new ones a couple times, the problem will still come back.
 


It might be a problem with your OS too. If maybe viruses or malware are affecting it. I had a similar problem around 6 months back. It persisted for a while and then I did a fresh install on my OS and it didn't happen again. So maybe try that out?

 


I already stated I tried 2 installs.
