GPU Usage Causing Loss of Signal (Black Screen)

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

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).

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?

Bump. Anyone any ideas? I popped my backup 560Ti into the computer and it is benchmarking just fine, though this card doesn't draw half as much power. So I'm still unsure if it is the GPU or PSU...
