Pc specs

5700x3d I bought used from CEX 2-3 months ago
5070ti new 2-3 months ago
Asus Tuf Gaming x570 Plus
32gb ram
PSU RM 850x

Been having black screens recently. last night and just now I was loading up Ready or not (last night Peak). I shift tabbed to check a message or accept an invite then alt tabbed. my pc black screens but i still have audio. 
This morning I ran DDU in safemode and updated to the latest drivers. 

when I first got my new gpu or cpu having this happen. I did have some crashes but i think they were driver related as Ive not had those since. 
I think i updated to the driver which came out with the Doom Dark Ages path tracing update. 576.80 i think.

This seems like a gpu related issue as I still have audio and most of the time my friends could still hear me. 

Our house power has been cutting out a few times recently, hopefully thats not damaged anything. Its tripped a few times and just gone out from the main grid.  Thinking of getting a UPS but we've always had lots of power cuts here. 

If you have any idea id really appcreait them please. I dont really know how to read Event Viewer if that could help.

i forgot. I got a new Corsair RMX 850 last black friday.

the 12vphr cable i found was very hard to plug into my gpu when i first got it. i messaged corsair a month ago and a few weeks ago they sent me a replacement. was tricky to unplug, dont think it caused any damage. Not sure when the crashes started though. its 1 crash a day it seems recently. maybe every other.

i hope its just drivers. i might reinstall the one Doom came out with. Just hardware issues is my only concern.
