Game crashes, monitor loses signal, force restart?

Hey all,

 

I built my new rig and I have an issue. Sometimes whenever I load up a game, it will crash and the only way to fix it is to restart (from the front panel) and force it.

 

An example would be when starting CS:GO, my screen would go black for a while. After, I can't do anything like tabbing out or shutting down. Then, my monitor will say "no signal" and not respond. Sometimes moving the mouse will give it a signal, but after a few seconds it goes again.

 

It also happens when tabbing in and out.

 

This has happened with CS:GO, Rainbow Six: Siege and Watch Dogs.

Specs:

i5 6400

GTX 580

8GB RAM

 

Any fixes?

One issue seems to be with the monitor cable, so consider replacing it. As of the other, I guess one of your Hardware's causing the issue

I guess it was a teething issue, all seems to be working fine now!
