Whenever I do something GPU intensive, my monitor turn black for a few seconds.

This has been happening for a while now and I've switched monitors and gpu/wires since, but it still happens.

The same monitor is used for my PS4 and the black screen occurrence is much less.

Could it be PSU related?

Thanks

  • Is your electricity stable?
  • Check if you are pushing your PSU over the limit here : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/
  • Sometimes u could have enough wattage to run the PC but the PSU model isn't good enough.
