Screens going black and fans to full speed

[Hotkeys]

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time out to look and offer possible solution.

The problem is, under load (i.e. gaming or running heaven) my screens go black and fans to full speed (very loud). Only fix is a force restart. In thinking the GPU as fans, LED's, and the PC itself continues to run (sound), but not sure. I have tried troubleshooting every-which way with no luck. Thought I would crowd source some answers on here before going the RMA route.

Here is some pertinent information;

I built this computer six months ago and it has been running smoothly with no problems. I had not gamed on it in several months and when attempting to yesterday I ran into this issue.

GPU monitor shows temps OK but core clock and mem clock at max. (I deleted Afterburner as I heard this could be the possible culprit to no avail).

I ran a stress test on the CPU and memory. Passed.

As stated above, it runs fine unless I am running GPU intensive programs (i.e. gaming, heaven etc.)

For the sake of being thorough I double checked all cables leading to PSU.

System specs;

i5 6500 CPU
GTX 1060 (Gigabyte) GPU
MSI H110M Mobo
Evga 550 G2 PSU
Toshiba 3TB HD
Samsung EVO 240 GB SSD

Please let me know if you need anymore information. Thank you very much.

Test the video card in another system. If that tests good, try with another power supply. Outside of a heat issue those are the most likely causes.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I do not have another system as my disposal to isolate the problem.

I will try to test by running on the integrated graphics and see if the problem continues to occur.
