Random Black Screen During Gaming

[Aaron Ormston]

I just bought an (actually) refurbished computer from newegg.. it runs great everything else aside.. but from time to time, randomly, the screen will go black while im playing games (usually blizzard products.) I have the PC connected to a smart TV with a 1080p HDMI cable..
The PC is an ASUSM51BC
BIOS:0402
AMD-FX 6300 (6-core processor)
8.192GB RAM
AMD Radeon R7 200 series..

The TV just goes black and says "No Signal." I've tried reconnecting the cable from both ends, the different ports on the TV.. no response. The PC is still running.. but i have no way of knowing whether or not its still actually active. The TV is brand new out of the box.. so is the cable. So i'm assuming it has something to do with the PC.. Any ideas?!?
(Cannot RMA product)

first thing I would look at is your video drivers make sure they are up to date. Secondly I would say its the PSU. Which psu do you have?

How do I check the driver?
The power supply is an AcBel HBA008-ZA1GT 350.

Download OCCT and do a PSU test im taking a guess that's the issue. I had a low quality PSU and had the same problems. Driver just go to device manager and display adapter right click and check for driver updates

I would think a 6300 on a 350 psu would be pushing it especially with that one

Can you link me a secure download of this program? And supposing an upgrade is needed/preferred, what would be an acceptable change?

I have never replaced a power supply before, is this something easily done?

yeah its not hard just a lot of cable routing and plugging things in

I downloaded AMD Catalyst to detect my driver updates, and after it installed the recommended driver(s) it only seemed to exponentially increase the frequency of this problem.. I've had to force restart 5-6 times since then.. from maybe once a day.

I just uninstalled the program...

Have you replaced the PSU?
