[SOLVED] I need help with certain games crashing my GPU

[SmokeMeOut]

For the past few months I keep having problems with my PC. When I play for example Far Cry: New Dawn for a few minutes my screen goes blank and shows the "No Signal" message, but I still hear all sounds. I dont believe my hardware causes these problems, as I am able to play more demanding games ( AC Valhalla, Doom Eternal, RDR2) without a problem on high graphic settings, and VR games cause zero problems.

Games that cause this Problem:
Far Cry 5/New Dawn
Sea of Thieves
AC Odyssey
Gorn
Metro 2033

My PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
GPU: Radeon RX 590
Mainboard: PRIME B350-PLUS
16 GB Ram

Edit: I also found out that this error does not seem to occur when I'm playing these games in windowed, instead of Borderless Fullscreen.

Welcome to the forums , newcomer!

You will need to include some more info for the specs. please list the PSU's make and model and the storage you're working with, not to mention the version for Windows 10(assuming you're on Windows 10). Not all games are coded the same and some will tax the system more than others.

You might want to make sure you're on the latest BIOS version for your motherboard, making sure you're on the latest version of Windows 10(21H1)then use DDU to uninstall your GPU drivers, then source the latest driver from AMD's support site, then manually reinstall the driver in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator. See if that helps.

My PSU is a Xilence XP700 Perfomance C Series, the games are installed on a 2TB harddrive and I'm using the latest version for Windows 10(Education).

I suspect it is the cause of your problems. You should consider replacing it with something better.

Is there a particular PSU I should get or is any high-tier fine?

Anything in Tier A or B 550W or higher would be good. What country are you in?
