I have been recently facing issues with my PC. The system would black screen while gaming for longer times and it eventually got shorter and almost to the point where it would black screen at any moment regardless of what I am doing. I replaced GPU with a spare one and it showed issues. RMAed RAM and Board and still no luck except the board came back in the same condition and RAM came new. Now I suspect PSU. I gave it to a nearby shop and they say no issues now ? Also before giving the system I also get no GPU beep codes. Sometime s system just hangs also. Now they are asking me whether to send PSU or not ? What to do ? Thanks.

Any error codes, system messages, anything that can help us diagnose the problem? Because without them we would need a crystal ball.

Does the system shut down completely during games? or does the screen just go black?

Screen goes black. Not only whole gaming as now it goes black screen at any moment or sometimes just freeze.

Just black screen or system freeze. No codes, only sometimes no GPU code at boot but after an hour everything works again

Sound like a overheat on the cpu. I suggest removing the OC on it.

All on stock since issues started popping up

do you have anything overclocked?

what do your temps lool like on your GPU and CPU ( you can use GPUz and CPUZ to check these.

How old is your hard drive and do you notice any noise coming form it.

Hard drive is an year old. It's fine. All OCs disabled. Not heat issue cuz it turns balck even when copying things

I recommend you do some testing. Log system temps, loads, usage, power consumption, etc. and get back to us with the logs.

And as someone suggested, check to make sure you don't have loose cables.

I can't do anything. It will turn off in a matter of time and only work after an hour or so. Temps GPU at load around 68c. CPU just over 60c. Usage is fine. When playing gta GPU full load and CPU moderate on all cores and around 6 GB ram usage.

Do you have spare components to test which hardware is faulty?
