Random Black Screens, Jittering Screen.

[Iceman7]

Hi all.

About a week ago i started randomly getting black screens, while playing games, browsing the web or just listening some music.The monitor just turns off but the PC still runs, the fans are glowing and spinning fine. The music for example is still running, while the game sound loops. This is very annoying as it happens every day once, twice or even three times like today. I switched off all of the sleep, hibernate and screen saver options.

The other thing about screen flickering or jittering, i don't know how you call it but it started when i
installed my new R9 270 GPU couple months back. I got kinda used to it but since i'm here i might as well ask. You can see like bars going up and down the monitor like crazy. And it gets even worse when i play games at night (in-game) when you can see it clearly. I never had this problem before with my old Radeon 7750HD. Also i have installed all latest GPU drivers. Is it a monitor problem, a GPU or maybe something else?

I would appreciate your time.

These are my specs:

-Intel i3 3240, 3.4GHz With a Cooler Master Hyper 103.
-MSI H61-P31/G3 Motherboard
-MSI Radeon R9 270
-2x 4GB Silicon Power RAM
-500W ATX PSU
-1TB Toshiba DT01ACA100 HDD
-21.5" LG E2242 Monitor

These are all signs of a failing GPU. You have a 3 year warranty with MSI you should contact them about a replacement. If you still have that old 7750 you can use that for now.

Ok, i got a new 600W Cooler Master Power supply witch seem to fix the black screens, but the failing GPU is really bad news as i sold my old 7750. :/
