Question Screen goes black, peripherals turn off, but PC stays on ?

Hello, I recently build a PC and while it does work great and it can run anything so far, but sometimes while playing the screen goes black and there's no audio anymore, I see my keyboard turn off as well, but when I check the PC, the ram and fans lights are still running normally (fans spin doesn't go up), and it won't display anything until I long press the on/off button of the PC and then restart like nothing happened (while in the black screen, no error LEDs light up on my motherboard).

Specs:
Mobo: Gygabyte B450M DS3H
CPU: Ryzen 5600X
GPU: XFX RX 7600 XT 16GB
RAM: 2 x 8GB (clocked at 3200 using XMP)
PSU: MSI MAG A650BN 650w

I've checked temps and they don't even go more than 60° for CPU and 70 for GPU before going black, and sometimes as low as 40° and 50°
Event Viewer only shows an error that I forced the PC off.
Both old and new games, high or low settings, capped or uncapped fps, it's just really random.
Anything helps at this point, sometimes I even think my monitor could have something to do because everything with the PC seems fine, and if more info is needed please don't hesitate to mention, I appreciate any answers.
 
update the bios of the motherboard
update amd drivers for gpu and chipset

all power connectors plugged in the motherboard, gpu and the psu side?
Yeah, everything is plugged just fine, and about the updates, is the adrenaline software the way to go to install the amd drivers? Because that's what I used for it. And also for the bios I believe I have the latest update, but I'll check both and see if something works, thank you very much, have a nice holidays
