hello y'all.

I have started noticing yesterday (6-29-24) my pc started to turn off my monitors and then suddenly can only hear audio and cannot access task manager. my temperatures have been decent thus far and i did upgrade my rig not that long ago (will post specs in comments soon) its been smooth sailing till these past couple of days and I wanna say it could be my power supply, but i have no idea.

I did not overclock my CPU or GPU and really only been surfing the web and/or gaming. i have 3 monitors and during gameplay at random my monitors go black and try to come back on, but stay off while i hear game audio with my rig still running. i turn off and on the pc and it works fine till the sudden "crash" happens. i will say i HAVE NOT upgraded my psu during my last upgrades and just wanna know what is causing this issue. please and thank you
