PC Crashes with monitor going blank and fans going to full speed?

[Fritch94]

So for the last year or so I've been having this problem where mid game my PC will crash with the monitor going blank and fans going to full speed. There are no event logs in windows for the crash. 

 

I've tried everything I can think of in the year since this started I've had a new PSU. So that's ruled out. 

 

I've ran as many bench tests as I can and the only one that replicates it is TimeSpy.

 

My specs are:

Ryzen 2700x (game mode on) 

MSI Gaming Pro x470

ROG STRIX vega 56 (stock)

1000w Corsair PSU

 

Any help would be very appreciated

My GPU died after few of those "blank screen-fans-100%"

 

I mean it's a symptom of a dying GPU maybe..

TimeSpy is - AFAIK - a GPU intensive benchmark; do you have access to another GPU to verify if it's the GPU?

 

What are the games in question, that the machine crashes with?

Possibly, I'll try and get one and see what happens. If it is the GPU.. Not the best time to get a new one

I did mean w/o having to try & buy one (GL w/ that) - can you borrow one from another machine or a friend...?

Trying a gtx 970 now.. I didn't mean buy I new one to test.. Just that it is a crappy time to buy a gpu if I have to.

So the gtx 970 I tried was fine. No issues what so ever. I was wondering is it worth under clocking the vega 56 to see if that helps it out? 

[Fritch94]

Out of pure frustration I put the vega 56 back in and ran TimeSpy and it bloody worked... I have no idea what is happening

I have that issue too... Turn down your settings firstly and see if there is improvement. If not... I am not quite sure.

could be, but as far I recall I only had this whenever I tried using Ryzen Master (it's at this point, after several bios updates pretty clear its simply not compatible with my motherboard) 

 

And otherwise, lots of crashes can hint at a defective gpu, but generally not really, in my experience it's more like badly optimized / finicky programs, otherwise my GTX 1060 Gaming X is "dying" since about 2 years without any performance degradation whatsoever. (ie it's not)

Ehh... did you even run FIRESTRIKE? That's the program that brings any wonky overclock / card to its knees... 

 

IF *that* works fine for you then I really have no idea what the issue could be (outside the usual, aka drivers...) 

 

Edit: alright, and yes, under volting your card could probably fix this, and it doesn't even necessarily have to cost much performance, if at all (since it'll run cooler) I just recalled, a lot of people do this with their AMDs, they often just draw way to much power at default settings, apparently.

Could it be that you have some sort of OC software running?
