Recently, my PC has been having some issues where it will randomly black screen both of my monitors, I can still hear audio but when I'm in a discord call my friends can't hear me, nor does trying to interact with my pc blindly do anything (such as trying to alt f4 a program making noise). When I hold the power button to completely turn off the machine, and try rebooting it, my pc will not boot and my Gigabyte Aorus Elite B450 will have a red light on the "boot" section. When I turn off the machine again and unplug and replug seemingly any cable at the back of my PC, then when I boot it up it works for a while, until doing it again. Sometimes even, this results in my graphics drivers not showing up when I right-click my desktop, and then when I open AMD's software I get this error: image.png.1ca7e1a4cf88ee04407af416f537adfb.png After getting error, I uninstall my drivers through windows uninstall, then go to amd.com and reinstall either the latest driver or the stable one (neither of them have fixed this issue). Last night, I unplugged my second monitor and the PC worked well for a bit, without any crashes, then immediately after I plugged my second monitor in, the system black screened again. I then tried plugging the second monitor into DisplayPort instead of HDMI, and didn't run into any issues for a while, until today, where I crashed while trying to play GTA, and my drivers came up with the issue again.

What happens if you just use the second monitor on its own? I wouldn't rule out a hardware issue with the second monitor from your description.

I have tried this and it worked fine, thought right now I'm running GTA with both monitors on but with AMD's software uninstalled and it seems to be working fine for now, I'll do an extended test on single monitors to see if that's the issue if I crash again.
