Peripherals&display shutting down while fans and lights stay on.

[silentsniper7777]

About a week ago i was playing fortnite with my friends, then suddenly my monitor and peripherals shut down but my lights and fans still going strong. Over the next days i had the windows crash and shutdown error a few times, along with a red pix-elated checkerboard pattern across my displays. It has since stabilized but anytime i put it under any load it cuts my display and peripherals off while still leaving my lights and fans on.

Here are the specs:
MSI B350 Kraitgaming motherboard
Ryzen 1800x overclocked to 4.0 (watercooled)
Nvidia GTX 1060
32GB DDR4 RAM
Thermaltake 850w gold PSU.

Everything is 3 months old except the graphics card (year and three months)

When i run the superposition benchmark it gets about 45 second into it then causes the shutdown. The temps on the GPU get to around 55C then it shuts off. even the little red light behind the GPU turns off.

The card has the most up to date drivers (as it did before this all started happening) nothing software wise, as far i know, changed. I have since uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them several times. Also have replaced the PCI-E cable and system restore to no avail.

I appreciate any and all help i can get. Thanks Guys!!!!!

sounds like your power supply not holding under load. i would swap it out for a known good brand like seasonic. try and get an rma or if you used a credit card a charge back if you cant get your funds back for a better unit.

You are overclocking, set everything to stock speeds, work OK then?

Found out that it was my graphics card. It had a worn connection somewhere in the board. Threw it in the oven at 385F until i smelled the solder start to melt (around 9 minutes). Let it cool down extremely slow so that the connections solidified correctly, Ran the superposition benchmark on High1080p. Temps got up to 88C (before it would get to 55C and shutdown) and finished with a better score than months ago. I do not recommend this as a troubleshooting method whatsoever, but as a last resort my card was saved. For how long, I don't know but ill keep you updated. Thanks guys for the help!!!!
