Hi guys, ive got a problem since september. When im playing AAA games, and PC is under big strees, ive got sometimes black screen with NO SIGNAL error on monitor. Still im able to hear sounds, but i need do hard reset to get again signal.
tried new drivers but nothing changed.
today i checked OCCT, and all tests are ok - i can run each test for 5-10 min without error...but when i try do POWER TEST, ive got no signal after one minute.
my configuration:
ASRock Z390 Taichi
i9 9900K
Gigabyte RTX 3080
32gb ram
PSU - 650 XFX modular. (did 650W is enough for my config?)

any ideas? change PSU or can be something else?
cheers
 
Solution
Definitely change PSU. Only a couple of Tier 1 models are really capable of taming 3080, and XFX is not one of them. As for wattage 650 is kind of borderline - it might work with lesser CPU but with i9 I would rather aim for 750 or even 850 - again, tier 1 model.

Wow! Why are you using such an old PSU with so many new parts? Like dropping a GM Iron Duke in a Corvette. LOL!
