Black screen and fans at max when I open a game

[Choperz]

Whenever I load up a game (borderlands 3, Minecraft, cs2) my screen goes black and my gpu fans go to max speed. I can hear audio for a couple seconds and then cuts off. Well my rgb/lights are on. This also happened once after just booting up my pc and when I was checking event viewer. I swapped out my gpu with my roommates and my computer worked perfectly fine through the bl3 stress test (my gpu wouldn’t get to the stress test). He then put my gpu in his computer and he played a match of cs2 which worked perfectly as well. We switched our gpus back and the I have the issue again.  I’ve cleared cmos, changed pcie slot, updated drivers, reinstalled drivers, updated windows, nothing has helped so far. I just got a new cpu, motherboard, ram, and cooler in March. I used my pc all day yesterday and I shut it off. I turned it back an hour later and it happened when I opened cs 2.

You got XMP enabled? Other overclocks on CPU or GPU? Disable that in BIOS. Make sure ram is placed in slot A2 and B2 on the motherboard. Remember to turn off PSU. Also welcome to the forums!

Seems like a issue with the power. Have you tried using your roommates GPU in your system?

my bad. i thought he was still talking about his roommates PC. In that case, the most i can say is there is a problem with board power, psu, or the card itself.

I have not personally overclocked anything. Everything in the bios says auto. Ai over look tuner says auto but I don’t think it’s on. The ram is in the A2 and B2 slots

You don’t think it’s a software issue? I feel like it has to be because my gpu works perfectly in my roommates pc. His gpu also worked perfectly in my pc, he has a smaller power supply so I feel like it can’t be that either. Could it be a compatibility issue, a cord issue, pcie, or some connection if it’s a hardware issue?

update #1 

 

I had a system restore point at the time I shut down my pc before it started happening. It was a thx razer install for something. I did a system restore to a few weeks before this. It did not fix the issue. I reset my bios to default settings. It did not fix the issue. I downloaded Msi afterburner and under clocked by gpu to 80%, this did not fix it either.
 

I am really at a lost for words right now because I don’t know what to do to fix it. I was thinking of a windows reset because there’s nothing I really want on my pc anyways. I put my roomates gpu back in for a bit and played multiple cs games and it worked perfectly.

software _shouldnt_ cause this. If this is only happening when you open games for benchmarks, I would say psu issue. Your gpu has a higher tdp (of around 40-60W I believe) than your roommates, so that could be why his worked better.

Other than this I would say a board issue with not wanting your gpu in specific.

seems a lot like the gpu shutting itself down cause it's asking for more power than it can get. may very well be your psu but check for any loose connections

FIXED!! I bought a new power supply. It must have not been supplying enough power or something. It was 8 years old because I originally built it in 2016. Thanks for all the help and insight, I appreciate it.
