Hey all, I have a serious problem with my system and am in need of some help. I had this problem start 6-7 months ago, I had just purchased a new GPU previously and had no issues for months (Strix Radeon RX580) I started having very rare issues of loosing display signal, this got progressively worse and worse over a month or two, to the point it was happening every time I started a game. I ended up taking my system to my local tech and he concluded a "dogey" GPU. Sure ok. $500 bucks later I have a new GPU (I'm Aus so prices are utter BS) and the issue seemed to have stopped.
6 months go by untill yesterday, and bam. Issue starts again. It happened once and after a restart seemed to be ok, but today its just. Constant. Every time I open a game. Black screens, signal loss error, sound still plays and system seems to accept inputs for several minutes before hard locking up.
I can watch youtube, multiple videos at once, have 100 tabs open, play browser games etc all day and no issue. I can START games, sit at main menus with 0 issue, but the second the game world loads, down it all goes. Doesnt matter how light or heavy the game is, its happened from WoW, to Ark, to STO to GoW, CP2027, Starfield, RDR2. ETC.
Things I have tried.
Updating GPU drivers
Complete Reinstall of drivers using DDU.
Windows update including optionals.
Complete Windows reinstall.
Bought brand new HDMI ande DP cables.
Run Nvida in various modes
Installed some Shell fixes that apparently fixes some issue
Completely stripped my system down, cleaned and checked for damages/made sure components were seated correctly. ETC
Reset CMOS
Tested internal graphics with no issues other than it running things at 2-fps slideshows -_-
Run Furmark for instanst crashes
Run single monitor/different monitors
Things I have NOT tried.
Updating the BIOS, Aisuite says it has no updates and im not confident enough to do it manuallly
Messed with OC/UC, again not confident enough to mess with such things.
Tested a new PSU. I have no access to a test unit and only buying a new one as a last resort, beacuse again, Aus prices.
So guys, any thoughts? I'm actually very worried its an issue with something else in my system thats bricking my GPUs and not actually the GPU themselves since the chances of buying 2 GPUS in a row from two differnt brands that have the same issue are low I would asume?
