System:
-b450 tomahawk max
-ryzen 7 3700x (arctic 7 pro heatsink)
-asus strix 970
-Corsair vengeance pro 3200mhz
-Corsair TX750M psu
-3tb seagate HDD
-1tb m.2 as boot drive
So recently i ordered a new gpu to replace my 970 and needed to also upgrade my old 500w psu to a new 750w psu. I decided on the TX750m and installed it accordingly in preparation for my new gpu. However, since then i have been getting random black screens while playing games.
The first time it happened, maybe 1-2 weeks after installing my new psu, i was playing a game when suddenly both of my monitors flickered and then went black and then turned off as if there was suddenly no signal being displayed. I could still hear the game sound and my music playing but the screens wouldnt come back on until i hard restarted the PC. This got worse and worse over a week until i couldnt turn my pc on without the screens going black as soon as windows booted.
So i reinstalled windows and then the problem stopped. However, today it happened twice again, both times while in games. I haven't played a game since then as i dont want it to get worse but i no longer know what the problem may be.
I have reinstalled windows, bought new ram (i originally thought it was that), does a windows ram test, check both my drives and checked all the cables and connections in my pc. I highly doubt it is any other component than my psu or gpu as everything else has been working perfectly for the year since i got a new mobo and cpu and the problems only started after my new psu was installed.
However, i also doubt it is my psu and surely the whole pc would turn off and not just the screens if it was faulty and power consumption seems to be normal. Which only leaves my gpu.
Is it possible my gpu has betrayed me just weeks after ordering a new gpu?
