On random intervals i just get the "no signal" message on my monitor and the pc doesnt respond to any input during that time. (almost failed my exams because of this)I have tried changing the cable , reinstalling drivers (with DDU ofcource), reinstalling windows and even cleaning the PCI-E port so that it doesnt have any dust in it.


Also a note , after a few minutes the pc restarts by itself and the cycle repeats of it beeing normal for the next few H and breaking again.

Hardware:
graphics : AMD rx 560
cpu : AMD ryzen 7 1700
ram : 16GB DDR4 (Forgot the frequency tho)
and the monitor is a asus monitor from like 3 years ago

Also i have no idea what part of the pc is the culprit but im suspecting its the GPU (But also hoping that it isnt because buying a good one right now costs 2 kidneys and 4 hearts).

I hope i made my problem clear enough that someone could atleast understand what the problem is, also excuse my english its not my first language.
 
Solution
AMD GPU....ok....

Now, it's probably the GPU driver. try 19.12.3 with your card and see if the problem is solved. Drivers from 20.x.x are really bad,

i'm now using an RX 580 8gb from Sapphire (Nitro+) (1500mhz core/ 2250mem) and using 20.2.2 and i have no black screen issue. The weird thing is that the monitor will tell me that in 5 minutes it will go power saving mode, even if i'm playing a videogame at that moment. As if the monitor would not know the GPU is working at that time. Reported to AMD with photos, they just don't care.

My bet? Driver issue. Try 19.12.3 , the problem should be solved with that. And all stock. do not enable any option from the menu settings.
Same problem with me I have 1080ti and following specs:
4790k
h81m-hd3
128gb ssd
500gb hdd
tx750m 80+ gold psu
coolermaster ml360r liquid cooler

gpu temps are find i played ac odyessy for 3 to 4 hours it never crashed during games. i also run furmark and 3d mark on 100% usage it never crashed on load and temps were below 70 with 40% fan speed. Gives blue screen without any load.

Are all your drivers up to date?
Is your 500gb HDD old? It could be failing.
 
I have used latest as well as old drivers. And hdd is extracted from laptop. Its segate with 7200rpm and health and performance is above 90.
A "no signal" message on the monitor could mean your computer is still running in the background, you just have no video signal to your monitor to see it. In your case you can run the onboard graphics to see if you still have the same problem.

Yes pc was running and I have press restart button to get it back and I used without gpu I mean plugged out gpu and used with it and no porblem occured.
 
Previously I had Windows 10 1909 version. During normal usage my pc freezes gives blue screen and then restarts automatically without any error. Note: I played AC Odyssey for more than 3 hours without crash. It crashes and restarts during normal usage.

Then I installed Windows 10 1511 version and also installed old drivers version 398.82 and it gave me blue screen but didn't restart and came back to normal display with following error:
''Display driver nvidia windows kernel mode driver stopped responding and has been successfully recovered.''

I searched over the internet and a guy was telling in video to change values in TdrDelay=2 and TdrLevel=0.

I changed these values and it worked fine for a day and now again when I get blue screen it do not reverts back to windows and i have to restart my pc.
I did stress test using furmark and 3dmark on 100% usage it never crashed and temps were below 70 degree with 40% fan speed.
 
Hey there! I've ever had the same problem where the screen randomly goes no signal and hardly comeback to windows (goes to automatic repair many times), i just simply reset my BIOS to default settings and it's running good right now
Specs are
Ryzen 5 2600
B450M HDV
RX570 4GB
2x4 3000Mhz CL16
120GB SSD
500GB HDD

are you talking about motherboad bios or gpu?
 
My motherboard is PRIME b450M-A
And my PSU is a 600w one that i cant even remember the manufacturer
For now atleast after the newest windows update my random black screens stopped for the time being. Also it might be unstable power due to the whole countary beeing home and doing stuff.

This fixed it (waited 10 days to test it). Thanks!
