Computer goes blank

[Niktendo]

So every time I have gone to power on my computer (after I've logged into Windows), I'll load up Google Chrome and within a few seconds, my computer will wither go blank and restart or just go blank and nothing else.

The only way to workaround the issue for me is to completely cut the power to the PSU (wait for the standby lights to go off) and then switch the power back on.

I'm thinking it either could be my GPU that is taking too much power with an inadequate PSU.

Here is my specs for my desktop rig. See if you spot anything that could be the culprit.

You're not having a GPU power issue, I run a Ryzen 5 1600 and a GTX 780 off of a 550W unit.

 

Sounds oddly like a driver crash, how are your GPU drivers?

PSU is ok, maybe Windows needs some updated drivers? Try safemode and then reinstalling drivers.

It could also be defective GPU or CPU(CPU can also lock up and freeze image).

I've recently updated the Radeon drivers. I could try and uninstalling them.

Installed the 18.9.1 drivers last night. It could be one of the issues.

I'd do that, if you'r lucky Device Manager will have a rollback driver option for you.

One thing I did forget to mention is that I did have my CPU overclocked using the BIOSes recommended settings.

Update time!!

 

So I've just removed the CPU overclock and so far I have not seen it go blank yet.

Then it seems like you may have just overclocked a little too far. Update us again later =]

Probably an unstable OC then.

It was weird. Though when I did have my CPU overclocked, I was guaranteed a 3.5GHz base clock but once I launch into windows, Task Manager would show current speed at 1.36GHz, but my base speed would show as 3.5GHz (means it might have not been working the entire time).

 

Currently I'm writing this on my desktop rig with no issues *knock on wood*.

 

Though would a PSU upgrade be necessary if I want to take advantage of overclocking my CPU?

No, your PSU can handle it all just fine. How much you can OC your CPU depends on the Silicon Lottery and the amount of power your MB can deliver.
