As the title states, my pc sometimes gives a black screen and full fan speeds while gaming. I can still hear sound when it happens, can even talk to people on discord, I then have to turn the pc off and on again. What is causing this problem and how can i fix it? It usually happens when coming from a menu (crafting, inventory but also main menu or profile pages). It makes me think it has something to do with 3d rendering and thus my GPU. Worth noting is that i recently upgraded some parts. New case, AIO and ram. I tried: Using my old ram sticks. Reseating my gpu and all psu cables. Installing older drivers AND reinstalling the newest drivers Running a memory test overnight Cleaning all dust filters and fans. Games that crash: The Witcher 3 Overwatch World of Warcraft Specifically Skyrim Special Edition. Tried four times, first 3 times with a decent amount of mods (around 50) and the last time without any mods. All of them when loading or shortly after (like 5 sec max).

Hey guys. While i was on my PC my second screen suddenly went black. I heard a low whining sound out of my RX 480 and then the screen appeared for a few and went black again. The second screen is connected via VGA (hdmi to vga) while my main is hdmi (display to hdmi). I switched my VGA cable and the screen came back but i still heard that low whine. After a few mins the screen went black again but my main still works fine. I updated my drivers and everything but still nothing. The second display was tested on another PC and it works fine. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks in advance :D

I keep getting black screen (follows with lag), then normal again, and after a few second, the screen went black again, and normal again, and keep repeating. I noticed, sometime it doesn't effect windows components, like the taskbar, or the start menu, so when it black screen, sometime the taskbar, and start menu is still normal, albeit I can't click anything still. I also noticed the problem didn't occurs if there's no movement in the display, like no video, or when I don't scroll anything (moving my mouse doesn't seems to make the problem occurs too) . I can acess ny bios with no problem. I would appreciate anyhelp, thanks.

Hi all, I have windows 10, gtx 1070, and a ryzen 5 processor. Recently after a restart, my main monitor (LG 4k display port connection) is showing only half the screen. The right half is black/blank. When my main monitor is connected to my work laptop it shows fine. I’ve tried restarting both my monitor and computer and I’ve tried different ports on my graphics card as well as my monitor. I’ve updated my drivers to the latest versions and still no fix. Anyone have any ideas of what could be the cause? Additional info: My computer is a recent build and has been working fine for 3 months. I also have an HTC Vive Cosmos Elite. I’ve updated software for that recently as well. I don’t have much installed but steam, steam vr, adobe creative cloud, OBS, and HTC vive software. I have a three monitor set up and the other two monitors show fine. All three show fine when connected to my windows 10 work laptop.

The Problem While under load, my GPU will shut down, the screen will go black, and the rest of the system will continue operating (sound still audible as well). All of the fans turn up to 100% and the GPU will not come back on unless I restart the system. I can tell the GPU is off as the Geforce lighting is untlit on the card. Once this happens it is not a guarantee that the GPU turns on reboot. Sometimes the system turns on right away, other times the system spins up, but the GPU fails to launch (GPU launch failure is noted on the motherboard when this happens). When I am able to get it back up and running and attempt to start another game, the same issue will just resurface (sometimes immediately, other times it may take a couple minutes). This has been happening since the 18th of August. Sometimes I can play for an hour, other times it fails the minute the game loads. I cannot detect any major temperature issues (not seen a spike over 80C on my GPU). System continues to run without issue when not under load (watching Youtube, surfing the internet, etc).

Any insight or support would be massively appreciated!!! Thanks to the community in advance!

So I just got GTX 1650 Super Oc today, installed, and tested Red Dead Redemption 2 after installing the drivers and what not. 1 minute into the game, the display turned black (into power saving mode) and the fan went 100% like crazy! Here is my pc's spec: Processor: Ryzen 3 2200g (intergrated VEGA 8 ) Mobo: ASROCK A320M- HDV Gpu: MSI Nvidia GTX 1650 Super PSU: Corsair VS450 80+ Ram: Bolt Klevv 8x2 Windows 10. Edit: I tried to put my hand on my side case when this happens. It feels warm, mostly on the part where the gpu is installed. Might be overheating. Would anyone please help im desperate. Please dont tell me its my psu i ran out of money buying that gpu already. I told you im desperate. P.S. im a noob so would you please consider using terms that common people would understand? Thanks, I love all of you.

Hey there, New to these forums but I’m stumped with this issue. I’ve had my PC since around February of this year and have been issue free for about 3 months. Recently, within the past week or so, I’ve been getting a strange issue where the system will seemingly lose power to all peripherals (monitor not displaying signal, keyboard not lighting up, etc) and the system will become unresponsive. Fans are still running as normal and case RGB is still lit up for motherboard and RAM. The only clues I have to the issue are a single critical error in Windows event viewer stating the system has shut down unexpectedly due to a power loss with no error entries before the loss of power and the fact that my mobo’s CPU debug LED is lit up. Strangely enough, this hasn’t happened (yet) when under load. I was able to play games for about 6 hours yesterday with no issues. The first time it happened a few days ago I was idle and opening a program on my desktop, and yesterday it happened twice: once on my splash screen before even logging into Windows and once as I was closing Discord. Any help would be appreciated! Here are my specs: Ryzen 5 2600 MSI B450 Tomahawk w/ early 2020 BIOS update Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB RAM @ 3600mhz (currently clocked at 2933 as I thought that may have been causing the issue) MSI Armor RX 580 8gb Corsair CX650 Temperatures are all fine, cables all double checked to be plugged correctly, drivers updated, and I have never messed with any overclocking or voltage changes from either my PSU or to my CPU. I plug into a relatively new GE power strip/surge protector. Edit 1: also feel I should mention I lowered my power plan from high performance to windows balanced after the first error.

Hi, My second pc, which consists of all the parts i don't really need and can find, doesn't POST. The pc has randomly decided to not boot up dozens of times and it always was the ram or something like that but this time i'm out of ideas. The pc has worked perfectly with this config without a problem. i disconnected it because space. and when i plug it in like 4 days later i get this problem. specs: prebuilt: HP pro3130 MT cpu: i5 650 gpu: gtx 1060 ram ddr3 sticks i have laying around. 1 4GB one and a 2gb one (there was another 4gb one but that one randomly stopped working Kingston ssd ssdnow 300V 120GB seagate 250GB hdd 450W psu from Antec windows 10 now on to the problem. When i press the power button the gpu fan starts spinning, the cpu fan starts spinning and i don't get beep codes. I have tried to -use another screen- -made sure the screen i'm testing on works -used 1 stick ram, 3 diffrent sticks always one stick in and in another slot. -cleared the cmos -used the gpu and the onboard graphics -checked all the cables -reseated the gpu and the ram -took out all the ram and it gave a beep code. which for me means that the cpu is working. I have tried all the things in this thread except for testing another gpu or testing the gpu in another pc. thanks in advance for the help

Hello and greetings, hope you are having a good day. I have a ASUS GL552VW-WS78 gaming laptop, Intel 6700hq CPU and GTX 960M GPU. Several months ago the laptop fell inside my backpack. I recently took it apart. 2 standoffs for the CPU heat sink screws where loose and 1 was loose for GPU. I super glued them back in place after filing them down so that they sat flat and at about the right height on the motherboard. I also replaced the thermal compound with Arctic MX-4. After putting it back together it has had no problems until now. I am playing Satisfactory (video game). At peaks CPU is at 75% use and GPU 100% use, CPU is typically at 50% use and GPU 95%. At those peaks CPU core 1 goes up to 98C or there about and typically bounces around between 85C and 95C. All other CPU cores max out at 85C to 90C. GPU maxs out at about 85C. In the video game the more you build the more your load is put on your computer, I have recently built quite a bit more and when playing the video game recently the computer occasionally black screens for at least 30 seconds and the power button turns off a couple seconds after the screen goes black. After some waiting and pressing/holding of the power button the computer greets me with the windows login screen. When I log in all applications are still running it just seems that they where on pause for a bit or maybe not. I have not checked if the CPU heat sink was flat after the drop, I have methods to check to see if it is within 0.004" of flatness though, just haven't done it. Picture of my laptop disassembled, you can see how dainty the cooling system is. Might I be just asking to much of it or does it look like I messed something up? I don't think I ever pushed my laptop this hard before.

About My Computer I've been playing Modern Warfare for the past 2 months on my new PC build. CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 Mem: 16GB Crucial DDR4-3200 Motherboard: Gigabyte A320M-H View Build on PCPartPicker I already owned a PSU so I am using that perfectly fine too for the past 2 months. I've owned the PSU for almost 3 years now and used in many different PC builds. PSU: SilverStone Strider 700W 80+ Bronze (SST-ST70F-PB) USB Connections: I have a mouse, keyboard, audio interface and a wireless USB. External Factors My current build definitely draws a lot of power. I mention this because earlier today I moved my PC from one corner of my room to the other, this problem has only been happening since I did that. So the only differing factor for the PC would be the power source. When I start up MW the problem happens when I click on a game type, the same thing happens in 3DMark as soon as the benchmark begins. The Problem With MW, I choose a game type (MP, Warzone, etc.) and the computer monitors lose signal and will not turn back on, but I can still hear everything that is happening in the game (also tested sound on YouTube and Spotify and also can be heard). View YouTube Video of Problem What I've Tried Different sockets and extension leads; Different games; Changing power settings in Nvidia Control Panel; Different performance plans under Windows; and Cranking up GPU fans in MSI Afterburner. What To Try Tomorrow? Reinstall Windows 10 & Clear CMOS; Older Driver Version for GPU; Reapply GPU Thermal Paste; Clean the PSU (it's full of dust); and Maybe you have some more ideas?

Hello, Sorry beforehand, I do IT Service Desk so I am pretty detailed about stuff. The problems started about a month ago. My computer would randomly restart and boot normally. In the Windows log, it said that there was power loss. I noticed that when it would restart, none of the other devices in the same surge protector would restart so I don't think it was a power issue. Ended up changing it to another surge protector with less stuff in it, but it still happened. The reason why I mention this is because I sometimes do have some bad power surges and one day, it broke literally every surge protector in my house. Eventually I had another issue. When I had woke it from being on sleep mode, it would be a black screen. When I restarted it at this point, most of the time it would just boot to a black screen again with no sound. Sometimes one of my fans would not start as well. I would turn it off, unplug it, and press the power button 15 times to reset it. That would usually work until today. Today it did not start and I noticed that when it did start, the fans on my GPU would not spin either. I moved my GPU to another PCI slot and it booted normally finally. I don't think it is a monitor or cable issue as well because I have two displays that showed nothing, one with a HDMI port and one with a display port. Most of the time, I think it crashes when I am using Chrome and usually watching Youtube. I do game and my GPU does run quite loud and at 100% utilization, but only gets to about 70 degrees. I personally think it is my GPU, but I'm not sure if it could cause all of those problems. I did see that the release notes on the last two driver updates for my GPU do mention black screen or system hang during extended periods of game play and the issues did kind of start when I updated it from possible before those two updates, but I was not playing a game before most of these issues happened. Running Windows 10 Home version 64bit, 10.0.18362 MSI Z270 Gaming M5 Motherboard BIOS version 1.A0, 7/3/18 (was just updated) Intel i7-7700k 4 core 4.2GHz cooled by a Corsair H50 closed loop watercooler 2x8GB DDR4 GSkill Ripjaw 3200MHz Power Color Red Dragon Radeon RX 580 1TB WD Blue HDD Corsair RM650i (650W) Gold certified PSU (should be around 100 above recommended) It's all in a full tower case with 3 120mm fans and 2 140mm fans

Hello guys, I have problem with my motherboard ASRock B450 fatal1ty gaming k4. When i set CSM to disabled, I have black screen in BIOS and POST. I found that i must disable FULL HD BIOS. But after that I realized that my BIOS is alway displays in high resolution. I found same problem, but on diferent motherboard: http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9694&title=z370-fatal1ty-itx-bios-310-with-csm-disabled is there any solution for that?

Hey guys n gals. I'm hoping the LTT community can help me in my time of need. The short of it is that I acquired an Asus Turbo GTX 1080, however it does not want to display. I boot up and just a black screen and eventually "no input" on the display. I tried all 5 of the outputs (2x HDMI, 2x DP, 1x DVI) It came from a working system and the card worked in it's previous system. However I hooked it up to mine and suddenly it doesn't want to display and took a hell of a time to get it to even be recognized by windows. If it helps, I do get a warning display via the DVI that if I boot without putting in the VGA power plug, I get text on the screen to plug in said power plug. Other than that, nothing. Here's the specs of the system I want to put this 1080 in: FX-8350 Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 - bios version 2901 16gb ddr3 (gskill ripjaws) Adata boot ssd + 2x 4TB HDD corsair vs 550w PSU windows 10 home - version 2004 To give a small backstory, these parts bought I off a friend (the CPU, mobo and ram) and have worked fine for the past year with an old xfx radeon hd 6870, which then I upgraded to an rx 460 (which died, hence me replacing it with the 1080). I got this as a backup/storage pc and with the 1080 I was thinking I could even game if I wanted to. Things I've tried: As I said before, I boot up and get no display/no input. The fan and ASUS logo on the side spin/lights up. However, I did manage to get it to boot into windows and was able to verify/browse the desktop via the chrome remote desktop app with a laptop. I get a 480p resolution screen through the app which makes navigating and trying to tweak anything near impossible as windows won't scale down enough and when I try to change the display settings, its blown up too big and the page doesn't scroll. However, while in this instance, I was able to verify that device manager did recognize the card and had the display adapter installed. Also, I will note that when only the 1080 is in the system, the VGA post light is lit up (which, according to the manual, when the VGA light illuminated means there's a post error). Thing is despite that lit up, I was able to still boot into windows. That's about as far as I got with just the 1080 in the system. Next, I put in my old radeon hd 6870 in the first PCIe slot (which the 1080 was in previously), and then moved the 1080 down to the 3rd PCIe slot (wouldn't fit in second). This is the card I have been using previously and works as it should. I get a 1080p resolution. I check device manager and both display adapters for the radeon and gtx card are there. At this time I was able to install geforce experience and install the most up to date nvidia driver (forget which version # but it was as of 5/27/2020). I will note that I am unable to power both cards properly, as the radeon requires 2x 6 pin VGA power and the 1080 requires 1x 8 pin VGA power. My psu only has 2x 6+2 pin VGA power. Hindsight I wish I got a slightly bigger psu. Anyway, next I tried reflashing the bios with the factory vbios from techpowerup. I installed GPUz which was able to recognize the 1080, however sometimes it would have all the fields blank and others where some fields were filled (like architecture and manufacturer) and some were not (like clock speeds and vbios version). Not sure why GPUz was spotty but it varied between reboots. Eventually I was able to use nvflash to reflash the factory bios onto the card while in safe mode. I will note here that according to nvflash, I was flashing the same vbios that already existed on the card, so not sure why it wouldn't show up on GPUz. After fiddling with all that, nothing changed after putting only the 1080 back into the pc and booting up. I was only still able to view the desktop via chrome remote desktop and having a 480p screen. At this time I opened Speccy to see what the graphics were displayed as. This is where I saw it was only at 480p and Speccy gave something nondescript, so between GPUz and Speccy, the 1080 wasn't still being properly recognized, despite having now the correct (according to geforce experience) driver installed. Also despite having geforce experience installed, I could never get nvidia control panel to install/open properly in any of these instances. I also reset and updated the mobo bios and that didn't help. I updated windows and made sure there weren't any more feature/quality updates before starting this adventure. I also ran SFC, DISM (as I wanted to make sure I could get anything from windows update I could for the card), and CHKDSK /f /r just for extra peace of mind. I suppose the only thing I can think of that I haven't done yet is reinstall windows fresh and only have the 1080 card installed at first bootup. Lastly I did try putting it into my main rig, which is as follows: 8700k w/ nzxt 240mm AIO aorus gaming 5 wifi - bios version f15a 32gb trident z 1080ti ftw3 hybrid nvme boot + 4TB hdd EVGA supernova g3 850w windows 10 pro - version 2004 Thing is I stuffed all the above into a meshify c and the huge 1080ti is a fingernail width away from the fins of the AIO rad, thus making it a tetris puzzle to disassemble this pc. Hence why after seeing the 1080 not being recognized at all in device manager or GPUz and unable to install the display adapter even, I didn't have the patience to fiddle with it anymore. (this was after reflashing the vbios). My thought was that with the nvidia drivers already installed, it'd have a chance to pick right up and I could worse case use chrome remote desktop again but perhaps find that it has a better resolution than 480p. No dice though. So yea, that's about all I could think of/do before pulling my hair out. If you have any ideas of what I could do next, please let me know. Also if you need more details or pictures like of the card's PCB, please say so. I apologize for not taking any screenshots, however with no display I can't think of many applicable instances where they'd be useful here lol. At this point, the one video of Linus baking a card in hopes of reviving it comes to mind...

I downloaded avg network security software to check for viruses. After the scan was completed my files were not opening properly, it loads for a while and gives a error message. My computer feels very slow and I can't open any file or application. I tried to google the error code and watched some YouTube vids, it says to open comand prompt but I can't it's loading for too long and shows error. I even tried run as administrator but it's not working. And when I select restart or shut down it load for a min and shows a black screen with my mouse. I can't do anything pls help.

Hello everyone, I really could use some help as my PC is not boot and I am typing this on my phone because if this. My problem is actually multiple problems. So what happened is that I was trying to get into my bios but I kept getting a black screen until windows booted. I tried multiple different moniters, most of then HDMI. I tried to use the on board graphics, and I tried disconnecting my boot drive. Nothing. Eventually I took out the cmos battery and did that thing where you use a screw driver to Bridge the two metal points. I put the battery back in and reconnected everything. My PC turns on but none of my moniters will display anything. So now I'm here sitting beside my PC on the floor trying to get it working. Please if anyone could help I would very much appreciate it, as this is my only PC and I need to access it asap.

Hi LTT forum! OS:Win10 CPU:4930k (stock) RAM:16GB (dual channel unfortunately) Mobo:Asus P9X79 Pro GPU: Asus Strix 1080 ti (stock) SSD: 1TB Kingston PSU: 850W BeQuiet Monitor 1: Benq Zowie XL250-B Monitor 2,3: Benq Zowie XL2430 All but monitors, SSD, GPU are almost 7 years old. Monitor 1 is hooked up with Display Port and runs 240hz fine. Monitor 2 is also using DisplayPost and runs its 144hz fine. Monitor 3 is only using an old HDMI cable atm so is limited to 60hz which for now works. My issue is when even playing World of Warcraft Classic my main monitor will go blank for 3-4 seconds. This is easily repeatable using Furmark. "Preset:1080" and will cause multiple black screens for the same 3-4 seconds. I just ran the test. Fan speed 34%. First Black Screen 1/4 the way through at 62 degrees C. Temp levelled out at 65. 5 total black screen occurrences. Since having this issue I've had one occasion where all the fans not spinning on the GPU. The card still ran but I noticed instability and I quickly adjusted the fan curve in MSI Afterburner. I imagine this is the most likely cause of my issue. But its interesting this happened after the initial symptoms. When unplugging one of the monitors to only use 2 monitors, there is no blank screen when running Furmark. When I test again with my other DVI-D 1440p monitor it still goes blank at 3 monitors. What I've tried so far: Different configuration of monitors. Setting other monitors as Primary Monitor in Nvidia Control Panel Lowering the Refresh Rates of all monitors Unplugging all unnecessary internal drives and external connections Updating drivers with a clean update via Geforce Experience custom install option I reinstalled Windows a few weeks ago due to this issue and that didn't fix it I originally upgraded my monitors because I was having the same issue with the same 240hz main monitor, a 60hz 1400p DVI-D second and a Display Port to DVI-D 1080p TV. Hoping that the conversion cable from DP to DVI was causing it or something. The only constant is the PC and the 240hz monitor. I understand the Furmark is putting stress on the GPU but playing WOW Classic on the (Classic) old school graphics settings still triggers the Blank Screen in busy environments. I've searched on and off for months and I don't have any new ideas. I did buy the GPU used but it was from a friend of a friend who didnt OC it and I've not done much OCing nor has it been OCed for long. My PSU has had a rough life. Once or twice I've had instability and the fan wasnt spinning (it has no fanless mode) and poking the fan with a pencil sent the fan to spin at max for a few minutes as it cooled down. But removing all nonessential drives and devices I thought could help reduce PSU load. Thanks in advance

Hey there, for some weeks now i've got this problem where my PC freezes and black screens on me, requiring a manual shutdown. It happens randomly, while i browse, play a game or just idling. I've reinstalled Windows 10, checked my RAM with memtest86 and the Windows ram checking tool, those didn't report any errors. I used OCCT to run GPU, CPU and PSU tests for a few hours, my PC didn't reboot during any of these, and temps are just fine (under 70°C for my graphics card, under 65°C for CPU). I updated my BIOS to the latest version, turned off XMP for my RAM. I checked if my graphics card has the latest firmware installed, it does. The CPU, GPU and RAM aren't overclocked. I also cleared CMOS. Nothing seems to help and i'm kinda lost on what to do apart from replacing parts and seeing if my PC doesn't reboot for a week as it could be fine for three days and then just reboot on the fourth. I think it might have started when i opened up the PC and unplugged one of the fans as it was failing, though i always make sure to ground before i do anything inside my PC and i didn't touch anything besides the fan connector. I attached a screenshot of the Event Viewer Logs before a crash, doesn't help a lot though i think. I'd assume it's the PSU (or the mobo?.. that would suck)? Voltages seemed to be fine though in my BIOS. I can't really imagine the GPU or CPU just failing like that? Anyway, here are my specs, im thankful for any help as this is driving me insane: CPU: Ryzen 1600x GPU: Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 8GB MOBO: Asus ROG Strix B350F-Gaming RAM: G.Skill RipJaws V PSU: Corsair CS650M Disk 1: Samsung 850 EVO 500Gb Disk 2: Seagate Barracuda HDD 1 TB i think

Hello everyone. Good day! I have some questions regarding my build. My dual monitor setup randomly black screens after an hour or less of using it. Doesn't matter if it is just browsing web or gaming. But when I use the monitor individually I do not get the same problem. I tried reseating the gpu and ram. Tried different cables for the monitor. My pc build is: Ryzen 5 3600 Msi b450m pro vdh max 16gb g skillz ripjaws 3600mhz Msi 1660 super aero itx Psu is seasonic m12ii 620 w 80+ bronze I don't know what to look for in my problem. I tried several solutions from the web and nothing worked Edit: the system unit still works after the black screen but turning off and on the monitor will display no signal so I had to restart the pc. This doesn't happen when using the monitors one by one.

So for a while now I have been experiencing strange behavior from my first even PC build (specs below), I would shut it down and sometimes when i would boot it back up the fans would spin, keyboard lights up but no signal sent to the monitor so it never wakes up. A few manual shutdowns and restarts later it works just fine and i'm able to game and work. Yesterday rolls along and i try to start it, but the problem gets worse and now im getting half black screens as windows starts up or freezes where the computer kicks it into a restart loop. Little bit of tinkering later I decide to try using the on-board graphics instead of my GPU, turns out everything runs fine even under stress tests so i'm assuming my GPU has failed me. That really sucks because it was the only part of this build i wanted to carry forward into my new build. This was my first build and everything was bought used as my salary is really low and PC components are expensive (located in Spain). Now i'm torn, do I replace the GPU with either a 1660 super, 2060 KO or 5600 XT. Budget of 300 EUR. I obviously cant continue with my initial plan to upgrade my mobo, cpu and ram until this is done as the R5 3600 doesn't have integrated graphics and the GPU is a must then. Any advice is appreciated! Current build: Case: phanteks P400a (1 month old) CPU: i5 2500k with a hyper 212 evo cooler GPU: GTX 970 Gigabyte windforce Mobo; P8Z68-V PRO Ram: 4x 2GB DDR3 hyper x fury PSU: 850w Coolermaster silence pro 80+ bronze (not sure of age but guessing it was bought with the CPU so could be very old) Storage: Samsung evo SSD 256GB Mainly using the PC to do the following: Working on excel and remote into office computer to send emails and such. Gaming (144hz 1080p): CSGO No mans sky Forza horizon Dota 2 Sea of thieves

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.

So my camera I use for YT is the GX85 and for a while it worked flawlessly, but then I did something by accident (forgot what I did :p) and now its just a black screen in obs, skype, zoom, and discord. Can anyone help? Btw i dont use the camlink I use this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/DIGITNOW-HDMI-Video-Capture-Audio-Capture-Cards-USB-Full-HD-1080p-USB-2-0-Record-via-DSLR-Camcorder-Action-Cam-Live-Streaming-Broadcasting/153312920?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=12109&&adid=22222222227355853292&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=448936313986&wl4=pla-925404084402&wl5=9052878&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=117437278&wl11=online&wl12=153312920&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAjwjqT5BRAPEiwAJlBuBaO3EyiP4AGn1j2iQhLWEXmriJgLlnC5XiMLSsRPOmqoORjuxjPtBhoCNPEQAvD_BwE
