New processor, is it causing my random Black screens?

[Compo1130]

I have just upgraded my processor from a Intel i3-9100f to an i5 9600k and getting random black screen for a few seconds, only while playing games. I can still hear and move around etc in game, just the display goes black. Nothing else has changed except the processor and swapping back to the old one removes the issue. It only seems to happen when there is visually a lot going on in game, and it happens with multiple games.
I have changed HDMI cable, changed Monitor, kept an eye on temps with MSI afterburner overlay while playing and saw no change. I have updated my graphics drivers. Windows is up to date. Power saving turned off.

Rest of my setup:
Motherboard: ASRock B365 Phantom Gaming 4
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 590
PSU: Corsair RM850
Operating System: Windows 10 Home Edition

Can a faulty CPU cause this issue?

Hello

You did check to see if this new processor is compatible with your mobo? Give us your complete spec’s on your memory sticks and what they are clocked at.

You may have to put the old chip in and preform a BIOS update.

Will update BIOS tomorrow, seems like this might be it as my BIOS is not the most up to date version. Will update, thanks!

Not a problem let us know how things work out for you.

Bios update didn’t work. I’m completely out of ideas other than the processor is faulty

[Rustys]

Could very well be that the processor is faulty.
