Seemingly random blackscreens, even under no load

[Thatelisguy]

Hello, after overclocking both my CPU and GPU I have been getting black screens. They only last around 2 seconds and are quite rare. I am running an i5 9600k OC:d to 4.8Ghz as well as an RTX 2070 with +200 core and +1000 mem. Does anyone have any ideas? Where to start problem shooting? What can the cause be? I am also running a 750w PSU and my temps are under control. Please ask if you need more information

Answer is in your post.

 

Stop oc your GPU. All graphics cards are already overclocked by manufacturers. 2 or 3 more fps is not worth it.

We arent talking only 2 fps here tho, plus overclocking is fun?

Probably still pretty over kill, and I bet OP didn't test this OC properly either... 

 

 

I recommend Firestrike,  that thing is without remorse. : D

I have tested it, it completes firestrike no issues, aswell as timespy. Games never crash and i have stress tested it with no issues with like 97.7% frame stability(timespy). Btw i am running 2 monitors, only one of them blackscreens. Wierd

Ok that's really curious then.  Just to clarify though,  screen turns black,  but the PC, game / whatever doesn't crash and continues on like nothing happened? 

 

 

And which games / applications,  all of them?

That's typically static electricity related. Most monitors aren't grounded and sometimes a potential difference can appear between monitor and PC, causing a static discharge once in a while that disrupts the display signal.
