Hi,
So I've been having LiveKernelEvent 141 black screen crashes during gaming during these past few months or so. I would be gaming and within 10-20 minutes in, suddenly my monitors go black, and I can hear something disconnecting, which I suspect is probably the GPU. I've had this custom built PC for about 5 years now and this issue has only started happening within the last year or so. What I need some help diagnosing is whether this is a GPU or PSU related issue. What's strange is if I run MSI Afterburner and reduce the power limit to < 90%, I don't get the crashes as often... which makes it appear as if the GPU isn't getting enough power but 620W should be more then plenty - is the PSU just getting old? What does the community think?
Current specs below:
