[SOLVED] While playing game, screen turns black, fans rev up to fastest speed, audio can still be heard, computer crashes

[Des15]

When playing games, most commonly last oasis, rust, and even a benchmark my screen will turn black, the fans will rev up to the fastest speed i've seen, sound can still be heard, but the system will crash and stay on the black screen. I have tested removing the hard drive. turning off XMP, updating drivers, restarting, and a handful of other fixes that were suggested in other forums. A friend suggested GPU hanging. I have searched the internet and this seems to be a common problem but I cannot seem to find a solution. The computer was built 5 months ago. The first time this happened was 2 months after building. I restarted and it was completely fixed. This happened maybe 10 times total over the next 3 months but a restart would fix this. today it happened 8 times in a row and basically makes games unplayable. I ran heaven benchmark for 5 minutes and no issues. the hottest any of my computer parts really get is about ~70. I did not overclock anything (except technically RAM -XMP- but still crashed after off). Virus scans - nothing. The computer will run completely fine if i am just browsing the web, but when I play games it will crash.

What is the make and model of your PSU?

 

[Des15]

the power supply is RM Series RM750 750 Watt 80plus gold certified fully modular PSU
Thank you for the consideration. Any ideas?

 

[COLGeek]

Have you tested your memory with a tool like memtest?

Is your motherboard BIOS fully up to date?

Are your video, motherboard chipset, network, etc drivers updated?

You are describing a typical heat and/or power issue. Also symptoms of a memory or driver issue. Thus, these questions.

If after doing all what COLGeek suggested, and if still no change, remove your GPU (the RTX 2080 SUPER) and try with iGPU form the Intel Core i7 9700K. You'll have to connect your monitor to one of the motherboard's video connectors.
