    Display Issue

    My pc has had this issue where the pc will randomly stop outputting to the display while the pc is still on and outputting audio. I have tried different monitors, hdmi cables, resetting the cmos and changing the TdrDelay value. Sometimes the pc will turn on but not output display sometimes it will output for a few minutes but then stop displaying, ive noticed that it happens more while under graphical load ( playing games or rendering cad models ) Ive also observed both cpu warning light and/or vga warning lights being on. Ive not got alternative parts to test malfunction but I would guess ive a faulty gpu, cpu or motherboard.

    Specs:
    MSI Geforce RTX 3070
    Ryzen 9 5900
    32gb G.skill Trident Z @3200Mhz
    Mag B550 Tomohawk

    If anyone has had a simmilar issue before and knows a fix or if someone can help me understand which part I may need to replace I would greatly appreciate.

    Missing from your parts list is the information for the most important PC component, can you post the brand and model name or number of the PSU for us.

        You are welcome and sorry to be the bearer of bad news, the brand of PSU is so bad that it is rated as – Tier F • Replace immediately here

        Any decent Gold efficiency rated PSU will have a minimum of a seven year warranty, the Gamemax has a twelve month warranty period which shows how little faith they have in their own product.

        Whatever you do, do not use anything other than the Windows Balanced Power Plan, if you use HIgh or Ultra Performance you will at some point end up with a house full of smoke and a pile of ash.

          while other hardware may be at fault, until that power supply is replaced, anything else will be hit and miss.
          the PSU at least is the start of your issues.
