"black screen of death"

[Mauricio G. B.]

Hey guys, so i bought a RX-480 DEVIL from amazon arround  february, and it worked kinda fine, i started noticed that some games will cause a Weird Crash that will result in No signal and peripherals powering down, but the system will remain on, monitor will only show a black screen as no signal is being outputed, well i Atributed this  to a Failing Really Old (5 years PSU) that ive been hammering with loads of diferent components, a Corsair CS 650 80+ GOLD
well needless to say, after a while the PSU short circuited and Fried my motherboard too when  it died (the new psu was actually in transit and arrived 2 days later) well i upgraded to a New Ryzen system with an EVGA 750W BQ BRONZE PSU not Great, but Good enough for what i have (for some reason the 750w was cheaper than the 600w ones) that aside, i rebuilt my system but the fucking shitass blackscreens keep Hapening @ fucking random @ really diferent games for not so called reasons, killing floor, player uknown battlegrounds, BF1, world of warcraft, it has happened on almost any game, it sometimes happens 5 times a day, and sometimes doesnt happen at all in a week, im going to buy a cheap GPU and RMA my RX 480 as it still has warranty, fuck, everytime i buy something fuccking new it just dies, any tips? theres no crash logs, theres no anything, it will just go to a black screen

You say Blue Screen of Death only, a black screen is just a black screen.

You actually "upgraded" to a worse quality power supply.

 

Is the 480 overclocked, what are the temps whilst gaming?

[zzzzzzzhhh]

Well, if it was only February, you should have a warranty on the card, right?

i know, after spending all my saved money on a new platform, it dint left me enough money to buy a better PSU, still that EVGA should be more than enough for the system i have

You could have got a CX550m, would have been cheaper (unless your psu was under $50) and still be able to power it just fine.

this PSU was 60$ it was on sale, i was going to buy the EVGA Supernova G2 @ 110$  but i wasnt counting that i had to change motherboard ram and cpu, as well as the videocard i just bought, i wanted at least 650w since i test alot of 2nd hand hardware that comes across me, like an HD7990 i have at the moment, so 750w is more than plenty for me

sell it to some dumb miner on ebay lol
