Hey.
From time to time (almost always when completely idle) my monitors shut down and wont turn back on, and the PC ceases activity without ever turning off (as indicated by it stopping making noise when it happens) forcing me to restart my PC. This has led me to believe it's a GPU issue, but I can't be sure because the problem seems to have started when I upgraded my RAM and CPU. I also added a second HDD at the same time, but that shouldn't be an issue since for booting up Windows I only use the SSD. Here are my current specs:
• CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
• GPU: RX 470 - 4GB
• Motherboard: B450M DS3H
• RAM: G.SKILL Aegis 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3000MHz CL16
• PSU: CX 600W
• Case: Deepcool Tesseract WH White
• SSD: Toshiba TR150 240GB
• HDD 1: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM
• HDD 2: Seagate Laptop Thin 500GB 7200RPM
• Monitor 1: Lenovo G25-10 24.5" 144Hz
• Monitor 2: ASUS VS228NE 21.5" 60Hz
Any idea what could be causing this issue?
Thank you for your time.
