I recently changed my RX 580 with an RTX 2060 super, I made sure to check my power supply delivered enough power to handle the GPU. Recently I have had instances where the GPU fans speed up to 100% for no particular reason (it never happened while in-game, it always happens when im doing something light, like browsing web pages) so overheating is most likely not the issue. Then I got curious and decided to make the GPU fans run at 100% manually using MSI afterburner to see if the problem was the fans running at 100% in itself, or if something else was making the fans go that fast in the first place. And surely enough after manually making them run at 100%, the same thing happened, monitor looses signal and im forced to shut down the machine. Could it be A PSU malfunction that handles poorly such a drastic change in fan speed?
 
Solution
Apparently the GPU cable connecting it to the PSU was not correctly plugged, the problem seemed to have been solved. Thanks for you all for the advices!
