Monitor going black and GPU fans go to 100%?

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.

Do some stress testin to figure out what is causing it. Download aida64 extreme and memtest. Try the memtest first. Then stress only your ram in the aida64 extreme while you have hwinfo open to see temps. If nothing on memory, stress storage, tehn stress cpu, fpu, and finally your gpu.

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)
