Hii, as you can see on the Video. While my friend gaming is gaming, he gets some random black screens for a few seconds.

Already changed his GPU and Motherboard as well did some Bios Updates. Reinstall Windows didn't help either drivers update.

Here are the Specs:
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 960
- AMD Fx 8320

- MSI 970A-G46
- 2x 4GB RAM

GPU connection issue? Looks like there's a connector that isn't seated correctly. Also, open task manager and your favorite GPU monitor and watch for a spike during the black screen. If there isn't one its most likely a connection issue. 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

Check if the DisplayPort is connected properly into the tower. If it is, it might be your graphics card. 

Oh cable! Yes that could have been. I remember everything worked very well when my friend was here but there it didn't.
I'll tell him with an other cable.

Don't think is not connected well since I replaced already a few times.
But will check with a GPU Monitor, thanks.
