ok so let me start by saying im at my wits end with trying to find out what is wrong with my pc- im not the smartest guy - please help-
this build is about 2 years old:
Intel i9 9900k
Geoforce RTX 2080 "duke"
EVGA 750Watt PSU
2X 8gig coirsair vengance sticks of ram
Aorus Z390 motherboard
1tb solid state ssd
when i first installed everything i ran realbench and ungine gpu benchmark and everything was tits - running great- ran everything perfect... but now randomly just started yesterday when i try and open any game or almost any program that is even slightly taxing the screen will flick black for a second and then resume but whatever application i had open is now not open- especially when i start any game it never makes it past the loading screen. my monitor flashes black for a second and then the game automatically closes out. sometimes ill open a runescape client and it will run for 5-10 mins but always black screen flick and then close out...
most of the time i get black screen flick off then it closes the app but occasionally when loading a game like cyberpunk or assassins creed it will freeze totally and i will have no choice but to hold the power button to power off.
when i run realbench it stops after a few seconds and says unstable
when i run memtest86 no errors are found
when i run windows memory diagnostic no errors are found
I have updated my drivers both audio and video and rolled em back and updated em again
I have done two factory resets with and without updating drivers
I had my gpu plugged into my psu via one vga g3 cable and switched to 2 vga g3 cables to the psu but that did not change anything at all
I have reseated and replugged everything in my build except for the cpu and ssd
do i just start replacing parts or can i narrow it down somehow to the psu or the gpu ? could it possibly still be the cpu ? i been at it for hours now reading fourms and searching through other peoples problem im a bit tired im sure i missed a bunch of info but i will reply im new to toms hardware but gosh i need help. thank you for your time wading through my unintelligible frantic message. here is hoping haha
