Help wanted

thanks for taking time and look to this thread.

 

i currently using aorus b560m mobo with rtx 3060ti and (yeah bomb psu) gigabyte p750gm

 

recently i am facing this problem where i play game my screen just go black and my background apps like discord will work and even if i do refresh my GPU drivers it won't have display, i have to restart the pc. if i use my other GTX 1060 it works completely fine with no problem.

 

1stly  thought it's a GPU problem so i got rma but now it's happening again and I'm doubting my psu.

 

what is a potential problem here? and why is this happening.

@axtant

 

what PSU model / wattage do you have?

It is the PSU =) 

 

had a similar issue with a PSU slowly dying... on desktop all fine, then when doing a fullscreen video playback, black screen, audio still running, sometimes picture coming back somtimes a cold boot was needed. Swapped out the PSU (a 550 watt from Seasonic to a 550 watt from cooler master) and all was fine.

 

The specs of the system an I5 44 something, a Z87 Pro Mainboard, a GF GTX 560, and a 250 gb ssd for system as well as 4 4 TB Ironwolfs in Raid 5. 

 

I couldn't watch any h.264 content without the blackout happening. 

 

After the new PSU all was well, never had that issue ever again.

My sleepy head read over that , also your reply wasn’t there yet haha.

 

but I agree I think this is a PSU problem as it works fine with the 1060, although the wattage of his current psu should be plentiful.

If I may recommend; Corsair RMx series are very good. Have one myself and never ran into any issues.
