My display shuts down and its jst all black/white/blue whenever i play a game. Whenever this happens I can hear an error and disconnect sound after the black screen and i can still hear the game open.

I tried cleaning my GPU and PC but the problem stays.
I also tried reinstalling the driver and it is still the same.
I checked my GPU temps but its all normal.

I dont know if the problem is coming from the GPU/PSU/Mobo
GPU is still 1 1/2 years old
My mobo is still new jst bought in a few months ago.
May PSU is a little bit older and its noisy whenever i start my PC.

SPECS:
Intel g4560
gigabyte g110m
GTX 1050
8gb Corsair vengence
700w generic PSU

Possible PSU.

My overall view is that gaming is pushing many systems to their limits and PSU's especially so.

Generic PSU could be "anything" and the product itself simply not up to the load or no longer up to the load.

Try to learn more about your PSU and post accordingly.

Someone may be aware of problems and issues with that PSU.

Keep watching the tools. You may discover other errors or warnings.

Determine if you can find out more about what is happening.

Boot up but do not play any games.

Go into Reliability History and Event Viewer to look for error codes and warnings that correspond with the display changes.

Very likely to provide some indication of what is or has gone astray.

Post accordingly.
 


i did not know this that Win has built in event viewer. Thanks!

I can only find "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." errors.

i read on other threads other forums that the cause might be on the PSU.

What i meant with the generic PSU is the power supply that came from the case i bought. I think it was a powerlogic one.

I borrowed a powersupply from a friend and tried it. So far all seems fine. no display shutdowns or anything even if I game for a bit.

I think it was really my PSU. Cuz it is a bit old and there were sudden power outage around my city recently.

Thanks good sir for the tips :)
