Question RX580 Goes black after launching game

[boomboom24]

I just got a new PC which has the 4GB RX580. It seems to turn black if I launch a game at 1080p fullscreen. However, if I can launch the game at any lower resolution it works. Once I go fullscreen it dies and I can only hear the audio from the game but no video. Any suggestions?

What PSU model?
What RX580 model? Is it overclocked/factory overclocked?

If OCed, then try reducing overclock.

Are you sure your drivers are up to date, that could simply be the issue.

turns out disabling freesync was the issue. disabled that and now it works perfectly. thanks for your suggestions though!
