Hello couple months ago I was trying out battlefield 1 and I was having issue, the screen goes black suddenly and I hear buzzing ( electrical weird ) noise. and I had 550 watt power supply I thought it wasn't enough for my pc so I bought 700watt 80+ psu and I still have this issue. after playing 10 minutes of overwatch my screen goes black and that weird noise again and I cannot do anything but restart the computer. GPU TEMPERATURE GOES UP LIKE 71 DEGRE while playing overwatch. and I've tested my gpu with furmark goes up 74degree but nothing happens works fine only while gaming I have this issue.

I don't think you deserve that Best Answer, Hamperking68. You haven't even specified which hardware or answered Umut's question about his PSU.

Also, please don't beg for any more BAs in the future. There are specific rules against that.


Sorry, when writing that I was commenting on another post with an intel 4590 and things can get a little confusing with lots of tabs open.

I understand now you're using the FX series which doesn't have integrated graphics.

Do you have another GPU you can use to test it?

Also, run a memory test. Please post back with the results.
I know this might seem like a long process however it can be quite tedious to rule out all the components as being the culprit when you don't have another system which you can test in.

After you have completed the above clear the CMOS and Reseat the CPU.
 


problem solved. I was having this issue for over 8 month it didnt let me play games. I just realised that this issue caused by 6 pin cable converter. gtx 970 has 8 pins + 6ping that gets its power from. I didnt have 6 pin on my old power supply. so I got converter. used it with converter then bought new power supply with 8 pin + 6 pin cable. and problem doesnt happen. apperantly gpu wasnt getting enough power
