While i’m playing games my monitor will randomly go black and say no signal but i can still hear audio. A few seconds later the GPU fans will speed up to 100% and i have to restart my pc to be able to stop them/see the screen again. i am not overclocking by the way.
I have tried 4 things so far
Checked all cables to make sure nothing is loose.
Clean install of GPU drivers
Checked temps, CPU temps are normal and GPU never went above 62°C
Looked at event viewer and saw Kernel power 41 “The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.” I think that’s just from me holding down the power button to shut it off though.
I have not done a memtest like i’ve seen other people with this issue suggest. Should i try that?
Also saw a few people that had the same issue open their card up and see almost no thermal paste on the chip. My temps are fine so i don’t know if that could be the problem but would it be worth trying that?
Thank you for any suggestions.
