My PC is frequently crashing (all 3 monitors go black, system is unresponsive, but I can still hear and be heard over Discord) while playing Destiny 2 (twice in 3 hours just today). The only way to get the Pc to respond is to power off/power on with the power button on the case. I don't have any issues any other time or while playing any other game. I built this PC back in late June and have had these problems on and off but they have become more frequent in the last month or so. It's driving me insane. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is the software I'm running and my specs (For more info about any product just paste into Amazon; that's where I got everything): EDIT: As far as I am able to check, all drivers including mobo BIOS are up to date

download and run Aida64 stress test and test everything all together and than everything but a device and see if you can't get it to through you a error. 

  1. clear your cmos/bios
  2. update the bios
  3. if you have another PSU and aido doesn't error try that.
  4. be sure to watch your temps while using Aida64 and also watch task manager/resource manager for any thermal throttling.
  5. be sure all Radiator or other heat sinks are clean and mounted correctly.
  6. Take all but 1 RAM stick out and see if you get improvement. If not swap it for a different one and see.
  7. 450w is barely enough for your setup as the constant LOAD WATTAGE is 397W per

consider a 600W or higher per the calculator
