PC " sleep modes " itself when multi tasking

I can explain it better here, It's not really sleep mode but it's not shutting down either, except when it BSODs.

 

So the issue is when I am downloading or updating a game, while also watching youtube, and maybe browsing the web or forums somewhere else. My PC like locks up, my audio goes crazy and buzzes, my video freezes, then my video disconnects and my monitors go into standby. No amount of shaking my mouse or mashing my keyboard will wake the PC back up and I have to restart it.

 

It just happened twice within 30 minutes, I was updating a game and watching youtube while browsing my email and it happened, I restarted and it happened again but then it also BSOD with a " Video Scheduler Error "

 

My guess is some issue with my motherboard, because it used to happen on my old video card too, not just my new 2060. But I am not 100% sure.

 

Any thoughts? Drivers are up to date, windows is up to date, bios should be but I don't mess with that unless somebody tells me too.

Please Quote me when replying.

Sounds like a gfx driver issue... had a kind of similar behaviour with a gtx 760 in my system and a "recent" driver then. 

 

Did a rollback to the last installed version, that didn't crash the system and all was good.

 

NVidia is now as bad with driver stability as AMD/ATI were. But Nvidia doesn't only crash the gfx driver to restart, but kicks your system out of orbit as well.

 

Try an older driver.

I can try but the issue is I have no idea how long ago this even started. I never tested it as the circumstances that it happens are rare. I don't usually download and watch videos all at the same time. I know it happened before and I *against my better judgement* ignored it and didn't seek help.

worst case, step back several times. 

 

On the highest peak it happened about 2-3 times a evening on my machine. after one evening without (about 3-5 hours of work) it didn't happen again. then I waited two or three versions before updating the display driver again.

I have a problem with my new Msi R7850 1gb, unboxed it (a friend gave it for free because he bought the 1080ti) and had this gpu lying around new in box, and i plugged it to the system, everything was fine, and when I went to the Msi to install the drivers, actually no one worked, because when I was installing them, it just had a blank screen after windows logo, and I had every time to boot to safe mode and disable the driver to work on normal mode, I mean it works with no drivers, but it is having blanky?? issues when drivers are installed, help please

I agree with @Anghammarad. Sounds like a GPU problem.

Download DDU. Reboot into safemode. 

This can be done by opening the run box win+r typing in msconfig, going to the boot tab, check the safemode box click ok and reboot.

 

Run DDU in safemode. Reboot into windows, download the latest drivers from nVidia and install them.
