Hi everyone, I've recently started having an annoying issue.
When playing games, the PC sometimes randomly goes blank - monitor says no input signal and goes into standby, no response from keyboard and mouse, fans still spinning but seemingly no harddrive activity, only option is reset or power button.
It only happens in games, and not consistently. I can't even put it down to heavy load as it also happens when the kids play Roblox.
Not made any hardware changes recently, drivers are up to date, no overclocking
i7 4790K
Dual gtx970 sli
8gb
2tb hdd for most stuff and 120gb ssd for windows
Would an insufficient psu possibly be the cause? it's an XFX 750w which I thought would be enough?
Or another option that crossed my mind, how do I check if the gfx card fans are spinning up when they should be? They don't spin when theres no load, but I'm pretty sure they are spinning on full load...
