Hi all.
So I have been having an issue lately where my PC will black screen and restart itself, but only when gaming. At first I thought my GPU was overheating so I increased the fan to 100%, and it never reaches higher than 63c when gaming. However I am still having the same issue, it usually happens anytime about 30+ minutes into the game. I tried a clean driver install using DDU to remove old driver and that did not fix the problem.
I am running ryzen 9 5900x with custom watercooling loop which never reaches over 58c when gaming, and my GPU is an old EVGA 980 ti, so I'm wondering if it has just started to come to the end of its life. I'm putting off buying a new one as long as I can because GPU prices are still stupidly high.
So my question really is am I right in suspecting this is the GPU causing this? Or could it be something else?
