I upgraded from a GTX 750 ti 2gb to a Evga 1060 6gb SC at first it was running fine no problems. However more recently iv had my computer Black screen with the game crashing but most of my other programs still running( it happened once when in discord and i could still hear and talk) the graphics card stops outputting any signal and my fans shoot up to max. This has happened while playing Rainbow Six Siege and Planetside 2 so far it does not happen at the launch of the game but a bit into my play time. at first i thought it was my over clock but after tuning it down it happened again. i ran a test with Evga Oc Scanner x i opened the program and changed the settings to full screen and 1600x900 and turned on artifact scanner the clicked run after about 1-2 minutes the same crash that has been happening with a few of my games happened this was with the graphics card set to normal with the only things changed was i let it use 100% of the voltage it could and maxed the power slider on EVGA Precision OXC with the fans set to 100%.
Please give me any advice you have on this.
