Monitors losing signal while gaming?

[AsianFiend]

Hi, I have recently begun to encounter this issue where after playing games for around an hour, both my monitors will suddenly turn black and lose signal, but the PC still seems to be running, but I must reset (hold down the power button) to get the monitors to working again. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I have already tried cleaning my PC, reinstalling the video drivers and messing with the power options. I have also heard it’s possibly related to a malfunctioning PSU, but I’m still not sure yet and don’t want to spend money changing it just for the problem not to be fixed.

Thankfully, this not currently at the level where its disturbing my work but its very frustrating to unable to spend time with my friends. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks

Hello

Did you check those temps on the gpu or the pc itself ?

Give us your complete pc spec’s , including the complete psu spec’s.. Also which games are you playing ?

I have a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor, 16 gb ram and a Asus Geforce RTX 3050 Dual OC 8G Graphics Card .

I have ran games while checking the temps and it was consistent with around 65 C. It started when I’m trying to run Battle Bit Remastered but it only happen once in a while but then as time goes on, it began to spread to other games as well.

You have a few issues going on there that will involve a bit of work to correct, will wait to see if you are still around before going into any more detail other than to suggest that while you are troubleshooting you should disconnect one of your screens, having two different refresh rates will cause trouble on its own.

Hi thanks for reply, may I hear what are the issues?

Have you disconnected the second monitor.

The most time consuming problem is the present Windows installation which is often referred to as a lazy install, this because Windows was allowed to update before the MBs chipset drivers had been manually installed, this is a must and for as to why is explained in my canned info below;
Once Windows has been clean installed you must then install first the MBs chipset drivers then the storage/SATA drivers ( Not required here ) and third the graphics drivers, the drivers can either come from a disk provided by the motherboard manufacturer or downloaded from their site and saved to a flash drive etc, this is a must and Windows should not be allowed to check for updates before it has been done as more often than not Windows installs the wrong drivers or in the incorrect order and this can cause all sorts of problems.

The reason why this procedure is so important, the chipset is what enables the MB to be able to communicate with all the hardware + are the first drivers that Windows looks for on boot.

The BIOS is more than two years out of date for the CPU that you have, you have version F14 whereas version 16a should have been installed before if possible but asap after a Ryzen 7 5800X3D is/was fitted, see here

That is enough to be going on with for now.

No worries but can I ask that you do not quote every reply as we have to read the full post to make sure nothing gets missed, thanks.

[AsianFiend]

ah sorry, still new here

[phillpower2]

No worries but fwiw an explanation, you only have to deal with the one thread whereas helpers have multiple threads to deal with and across multiple forums, hence why we ask that members do not quote all or reply unless it is to provide feedback that is relative to their thread.
