  1. Hey all first time posting sorry for any mistakes or missed info. The issue I have ran into is that for the past 4 months my computer will black screen randomly while gaming this does not appear to be a system crash because I can still hear and talk through discord. Further explanation of these crashes will be described below specs. Win 10 64bit Ver. 1904 Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wifi, Bios-F51e Ryzen 5 3600x (OC to 4GHz, but problem occurs at base 3.6GHz) G.Skill Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 MSI Armor MK2 Radeon RX 580 8 GB (Not OC, happened with OC too) Samsung 860 Evo 500GB boot drive, plus 2x2TB Storage drives EVGA G2 650 (650W Gold+) So like I said at the top of the post over the course of this year I have ran into a reoccurring and very random crash to a black screen while gaming along with the gpu fan speed ramping up to 100% immediately after the crash being the only other symptom forcing me to shutdown the machine manually. This crash appears, to me, to have no real indicator as to the cause of the crash as this problem as happened over several driver updates, games, OS versions, and even resolutions/refresh rates. This also happens at random points while gaming as well as I have experienced the crash in various menus, standing still looking at a wall, during loading screens post mission, and even during a stress test at various points using Unigine Superposition. And the crash does not occur at the same point in time as some days I will not see the crash and game all day while some nights I will crash 3 times within 30 min. Live event viewer isn't giving any noticeable errors and the system takes minutes to start after forcing the machine to power down. The list of games the crash happened in is as follows: Insurgency Sandstorm, Warframe, NFS Heat, Monster Hunter World, Rainbow Six Siege, MGS 5, Borderlands 3, and possibly more but these are the games I've played recently. And since I think it is worth mentioning again this only appears to affect the GPU as the system still runs behind the black screen as I can still talk with people in discord. Below is the list of things I have done to "fix" the problem Update/reinstall graphics drivers with DDU Update OS to current version Updated BIOS Check temperature, card never goes above 77 C Change 8-pin cable and connector on psu Disconnect 2nd monitor Changed HDMI cable and slot on GPU Cap FPS at 60, and lower graphics settings in game to low So at this point I am at a loss as to what to do. The system isn't even 2 years old and I planned on upgrading the GPU later this year when the next generation of GPU's drop. I am unwilling to buy anything new of the current gen this close to a suspected new launch and don't have access to a different GPU either. If there is any requests for further info or anything I notice I will add but I appreciate anyone's help in advance.
