Hey guys; i was playing 'The Bureau xcom declassified' and the screen went black and i think i heard a deep hum kinda noise, but not sure. Could have been the fans cause one of them is faulty. I don't know whether the game crashed or if it was my system. The PC restarted okay and then my windows 10 "make everything larger" settings had reverted back to very tiny. In a panic, i went ahead and ordered a RX580 8GB graphics card. The one i have is the RX560 2GB and it gets power straight from the MB.
Hoping the symptoms i wrote will let y'all say what happened. TIA

Has not happened again and i left the display settings alone. I've been playing 'the bureau' with no issue. Sure wish i understood what happened and if i can go ahead and enlarge my scaling. My rx 580 arrives soon.
