[SOLVED] PC Black Screen Restart While Gaming

[SoggyBiscuits]

Not quite sure if this the right subforum but atm I'm currently having problems which I never had before, when trying to play games it causes black screen restart(s) and I'm totally lost on what to do. I used OCCT to stress test my PSU and it does exactly the same. But when I try testing my GPU/CPU etc it doesn't BSR.

considering that CX750M has only 5year warranty and CPU stopped selling in 2017, we can expect PSU being out of warranty already

PSU will age (degrade) over time, thats based on used component quality (warranty time) and PSU heating (power usage), capacitors in PSUs will degrade over time, once they do, they became unstable (cant provide enough stable power at rated wattage)

Yeah I had a feeling it would be the PSU. Thanks for confirming friend!
