So, my PC has been having this issue for a while now. Whenever an application is fullscreen (it can be a full on game or anything simple, like a youtube video being fullscreen or a zoom class) the screen either sorta flickers black until it eventually stabilizes again, or it just completely force restarts the PC.
I've assumed my GPU conked out but I'm really annoyed about it since I can't play any competitive games without risking a full crash mid round, and even watching youtube vids is basically impossible.
So, now that ive finally identified WHEN its happening... how do I fix it???
I can't find anything that works online, changing full screen optimization, making games windowed fullscreen, updating drivers, clean installing drivers, ETC.
My PC has 16 gigs of ram, a 5700xt and a ryzen 3600. IDK the other specs off the top of my head but I'm sure I could find them if anyone needs it.
Edit:
Ryzen 5 3600
Asrock X570 Pro4 ATX AM4
G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16
Intel 660p 1.02 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB Video Card
Cooler Master MasterBox MB511 RGB ATX Mid Tower Case
EVGA 600 GD 600 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply
Acer VG271 Pbmiipx 27.0" 1920 x 1080 144 Hz Monitor
Windows 10
I bought all the parts at the same time, so the PSU is like 3 years old? Can't quite remember TBH
Please give me any ideas to fix my PC, I really don't want to have to waste money on a GPU or smth when mine should be good enough to play what i want to play.
