screens turn blank, pc doesn't responde

HI Everyone,

 

since a few days my computer doesn't run stable anymore.


The problem is, that the screens randomly turn black/off. The Computer doesn't respond to any input anymore, but e.g. Music is still playing and audible.

Hard resetting is the only thing working. After that the Computer is working again.

This mostly happens while playing games.
All temps are fine. CPU is in the low 60s and GPU in the low 50s.

 

Because the problem occurs randomly i can't realy debug it any further.

 

Does anyone have an idea what could cause the problem or how i can debug this ?

 

A friend of mien suggestet it could be the power supply.

 

 

The power supply is an 5 year old beQuiet 900W.

The GPU is an EVGA Titan X on water

And the CPU is an 4930k @ 4GHz on water.

 

For the last year the system was running stable and smooth. So i don't think the Overclock is causing the problems.

Firstly I'd recommend posting full specs. of your PC via CPU-Z (I think). Then you should consider trying a different monitor, cable and graphics card to see if it's the monitor, cable or graphics card that's failing. You probably wouldn't be able to know if it was/not responding to input without any form of output. If they are failing change them. If not then consider reducing your over clock just to be sure because when you start playing new games that require more out of your graphics card, you'll find that there can be unusual temperatures which cause your graphics card to turn off to prevent damage. Good Luck and tell us all how you get on with your tests.

I will post the specs later on. 
There are 3 different monitors connected, all turn black at the same time.

On one monitor i watched temps while playing 
Everything is fine with the temps.

I know the pc is not responding, because the music was still running, but pressing the media keys (normaly working) did not.

And it was no new game. I was just playing cs go as usual. This worked for the last year, so i see no reason why it should stop working now 
As mentiond before all temps are fine

Thanks for that note,

First lets get info. together - You clearly are using a graphics card not Integrated graphics.

Let's narrow what could be the issue:

Graphics Card's giving up.

PSU is giving up.

Motherboard is failing.

 

We can safely say it's not the monitors or cables because if they all go off together then it must be internal. The graphics card probably isn't failing if you include the notice that input is not working. A lack of power could cause the GFX card to stop working as intended and cut power to keyboards. and the motherboard could be failing and giving up at lower temperatures than standard due to wear and tear. I'd consider trying a different power supply if you have one spare. If not you could try the graphics card in a spare motherboard. If you have no spares I'd recommend having a look at the GFX card and Motherboard if they show anything have them looked at closer.

Today i did some testing and was running some Stresstests.

 

I simultaneously run a CPU and GPU stresstest pinning both components at 100% usage.

This test was runnning for about 4 houres. Everything was fine.

PC was still running and the temps for the CPU and GPU stayed in the loe 50s.

Because of this I think every hardware component is fine.

As my problem only occoured while playing cs go it might be a software bound problem.

 

Today I noticed that a new nvidia driver was available.
So I updated the driver to the latest version.

Today and in the next few days i don't have time to play some cs go roundes.

But this mabey will fix the problem 

 

I will keep you informed if this is the solution to my problem

Today i played a few rounds CS GO and my problem still persists ....

 

What else could cause a Problem ? 

Does anyone have another idea how to debug this ?
