Specs:
7800X3D
RTX 4070 Ti
B650 Aorus Elite
850w Gold RGB Thermaltake
16x4 6400mhz Trident z5
Windows 11 64-bit


Issue: It does it randomly sometimes it doesn't at all.

I play games, and everything is fine until it isn't. Both of my screens go black, my pc fans go max and i have to Manually turn it off.

What i've tried?
Updating all the drivers/reinstalling
Chipset drivers
Re-checking the cable to Graphics card, replugging it etc.

Could it be the Ram? (Using XMP on AMD, but its supported so..)

Should i just buy a new powersupply? (Corsair 2024 750w rmx gold)

How old is that 850w Gold RGB Thermaltake PSU? History of heavy use for gaming and/or video editing?

Look in Reliability Monitor and Event Viewer.

Either one or both tools may be capturing some error code, warning, or even an informational event just before or at the time of the screens going black.

You are using 4 ram sticks. Are they from the same kit or did you mix up two kits of two? If you did mix kits you probably have your answer.

But even if the four are from the same kit, try to disable expo (xmp is intel) and see if you still get the problem. AM5 platform has a hard time running with 4 sticks and I would be impressed if you really can run 4 sticks at 6400 MHz on a B650 mobo.
