Hello
Every so often my monitors will go black during gaming or web surfing. i updated my GPU driver and when the screens go black my PC is still running. Sometimes it will restart itself after waiting for a bit and it goes back to normal. It feels as if the screens go off when it does not detect any activity from me even when I am. I did recently upgrade my CPU, motherboard, RAM, CPU cooler, and have been monitoring my temperatures, yet they seem to be in the normal ranges (30's idle, 60's-70's during gaming). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thermaltake have a number of units under their Toughpower series/lineup, which one do you have? If the unit is recycled, how old is the unit and what did it power prior to the RTX3080?

BIOS version for your motherboard?

Did you reinstall the OS?

Wrong cooler for the job. 240mm AIO at the very least.

Hello and thank you for the reply. I did reinstall BIOS and everything was working fine until a few days ago the symptoms appeared. My apologies on the PSU, that is my old one. The new one I installed is EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G5, 80 Plus Gold 850W and the BIOS version is up to date
