Question Monitor randomly turning off with a brand new 9070 XT and 9800X3D ?

[OhThatsDaddy]

Hi all, replaced most of my PC recently from an I7-8700k & 3070 to a Ryzen 9800X3D & 9070 XT and I've found infrequently my monitor turns off for a few seconds before turning back on.
I have a Corsair 750Watt PSU and have only increased the power limit, no overclocking

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Since you state performing an upgrade, please state what parts you've upgraded and what parts were recycled from the older build.

have only increased the power limit, no overclocking
Why did you feel the need to manipulate the power limit on the GPU? Were you having instability issues out of the box?

Moved thread from Displays section to Systems section.

Hi thanks
CPU: 9800X3D
CPU cooler: Corsair H150i
Motherboard: MAG X670E Tomahawk
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 6000Mhz DDR5
SSD/HDD: Toshiba HDWD/Samsung 840 EVO/Samsung 970 M.2
GPU: 9070xt Sapphire Pulse
PSU: Corsair 750i, around 5 years old I think
Chassis: Lian Li, sadly don't remember make
OS: Windows 11
Monitor: MSI G27CQ4

I upgraded GPU, CPU, Motherboard, and Ram, everything else was recycled.

I increased power limit as it's just something I've done with all my previous GPUs to give them extra headroom that's all, no instability issues out of the box as far as I'm aware.

Edit
Also, I have two monitors plugged into my GPU, it's just my main monitor that shuts off, not the secondary one.

You had a 3070 before? Did you use DDU to completely remove the Nvidia driver before installing the Radeon one?

Yes, I did it twice both times in safe mode

And I see that you went from an Intel to an AMD CPU. Did you reinstall Windows? If you didn't and don't want to do it, you need to at least use Revo Uninstaller to remove everything related to Intel (drivers and apps, and remove their associoated files and registry entries) and install the AMD chipset driver.

No I didn't know you had to do that, I'll give that a go thank you

Reset windows and still having the problem :/

 

[OhThatsDaddy]

I'vew now changed DP cable too which also hasn't helped

Don't do a reset, do a clean install.

Sorry, that's what I meant

I would suspect the monitor power cable. Make sure that the cable is fully inserted into the monitor and of course into the wall receptacle as well. If the monitor/s are not momentarily losing power then we can start sussing out PC hardware. You have the display cable plugged into the graphics card and not the motherboard, right? If so try using the iGPU from the CPU by connecting the monitor to the motherboard.

I don't really think this is a PC issue, but I would remove and then reinsert the graphics card followed by the CPU. Take a picture of the motherboard pins for the CPU and check for any bent pins. Make sure that all the cables to and from the PSU are fully seated. Try the same thing with the RAM. Make sure there are no loose screws or otherwise conductive parts touching any of the parts. A small shake when power is disconnected from the PSU can cause a metallic noise should there be anything doing this.

I'll start checking all of these things off thank you
Crazy enough just checked my cable behind my monitor and it wasn't 'fully' inserted, so hopefully my incompetence was all the issue was

I share in that same incompetence. When I got my standing desk I started having similar issues. Turned out that the power cable to one of my monitors was being dragged against the wall just enough to cause my monitor to intermittently lose power. We all learn by doing and its nice to find people who have already made similar mistakes so we can take the shortcut to the solution.

Happens to the best of us then Will check back tomorrow after some hours of gaming and let you know if that all it was, if not then I'll start doing all the other things you listed
