Soft Brownscreen

[JLCitadel]

Relatively new build from Summer 2021. All fresh parts with the exception of my EVGA GTX 980. Computer is soft brownscreening when I play league of legends. No overheating. Room is cool, parts aren't stressed. I play on low settings anyhow. It's inconsistent as well, I can play for 5 minutes and itll do it twice then i can play for hours and it wont do it.

 

My immediate thought since there's been zero change to my setup since this started happening is that my GPU is kicking it.

 

The screen goes brown on my monitor and i can still hear everything and talk to people. So it seems display driven. I planned on getting a 4xxx series GPU but.. I was hoping my champion would keep on keeping on.

 

Any ideas on what else it could be?

I do use a cracked version of windows and I have not scanned for Malware.

 

Any chance it could be software related?

have you tried a different cable and/or port in the graphics card and monitor?  Might be a quick cheap fix

good idea. I also decided to run a malware test just the basics and it came back with 22 results (below) I'm about to run league and see how that works.  Should that not prevail I'll try another cable.
