When starting a game or graphics intensive process, monitors lose signal.

Hi there,

I recently made some changes to my PC, where I upgraded my CPU from a 3800x to an 5950x, I installed an AIO cooler, I got a new case, and I did a fresh install of Windows 11. I also updated my motherboards BIOS. I just tried playing a game for the first time today, and found experienced several "crashes" where my displays lose signal, and my audio stops, however my PC stays running. I inspected my GPU and everything appears to be fine. I'm wondering if any of the changes listed in my first sentence could've caused this issue to arise, or if it could be something else. My GPU worked just fine on my last rig, so I'm hoping I didn't screw anything up.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: I did install all of my drivers through GeForce Experience.

Try DDUing driver in safe mode.
Then reinstall driver using a standalone installer (this means not through GeForce Shitperience)

 I think it could actually be a CPU issue, because not only do my monitors disconnect, but so do all my usb devices. I tried reinstalling the drivers like you said, but it didn't change anything.

I think it is my CPU because it happens as soon as I trigger a CPU benchmark in cinebench R23.

What's your full system spec again?
Have you tried reinstalling / updating chipset driver ?

Where do I find the chip set drivers? I don't believe I've installed them in the first place.
My systems specs are:  AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 | MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX | G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB DDR4-3600 | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8 GB  | Windows 11

I found a reddit post saying that enabling Precision Boost Overdrive in the bios fixes it, and it did in my case, however I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.

Do you have HDR or G-Sync enabled ? I had same problem random lose signal too display time too time until found that all this problem been due HDR and G-Sync enabled in Windows 11. Btw is not bad cable or port problem I change few diference cables, port and still had same problem.

I'm not actually sure. I never turned it on, so I would assume it's off by default. I did discover though that my issue was caused by my CPU, not my GPU.
