Hey guys,
i have been having a the problem of blackscreens for a while now while gaming and cant seem to fix it. Sometimes it just goes black and back up again. Othertimes i have to hard reset the PC. It is also really inconsistent. Sometimes it happens multiple times a day, sometimes not all. Other errors are rendering device lost in Overwatch, Dev Error 6068 in MW.
Setup:
So to give a backstory, my old GPU died a couple of months ago (R9 390 Sapphire) and i bought a new Red Devil when it came available.
Since then i have been having some troubles. What i tried so far:
Im currently leaning towards faulty motherboard, because the gpu was new. Otherwhise it could obviously be a faulty GPU or PSU.
A friend recommended to buy a 700W PSU and check if it still happens, if not return it (and kinda abuse free return policy) - didnt do that yet.
Im really looking forward to your answers and gonna provide more infos as needed, thanks in advance !

Edit: The solution was a better PSU with more ampere on the 12V lane as mine didnt reach the recommended amount of 42a.

Since then i have been having some troubles. What i tried so far:
- reinstalling windows a couple of times and completley new from USB-stick
- Uninstalling drivers with DisplayDriver in safemode, fresh installs
- play with XMP Profile enabled / disabled
- observe temps while playing: gpu: ~50-60° cpu: 60-70°
- memetest86 -> full run of 13 test with 3 repetitions (standard?) with 0 errors
- crystal disk -> all disk seem healthy
- sfc scan with 0 errors
- stresstest for CPU and GPU which seem to be stable (more recommandations appreciated).
- event history: crictal: unexpected system shutdown (ID:41) -> me hardresetting i guess , error:ATKEX_cmd.exe and today OriginWebHelperService( ID1000)
