Recently have been a problem where my screen goes black and my gpu fan runs a 100%. I will be watching a YouTube video or going on discord and the screen goes black and the gpu fan goes to 100%. This randomly starts happen at anytime. When is happen I hold the power button and shut it off and then I will start the computer 15 minutes later and the problem goes away for 2-3 days then it comes back. I looked at my temperatures and its usually around 30-40 C . I'm not sure what to do. I just built the pc in July and I'm already having this problem which makes me nervous. Any help is appreciated.

Here's a video of it happening: starts a 1 minute https://streamable.com/evoaw

AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor
ASRock - B450M Steel Legend Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard

Kingston - A400 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Try reseating the RAM and GPU and while inside the case make sure that all connections from the PSU to the hardware are securely connected.

How many internal cooling fans do you have.

Not an ideal PSU when there is an add on video card present, CX PSUs are the budget range offered by Corsair and you should really have something that is from their Gold efficiency rated range.

What Corsair say about their CX PSUs.

CX Series™ Modular power supply units are an excellent choice for basic system builds and desktop PC computer upgrades, offering high reliability, low noise, and the flexibility of modular cabling.

those temps don't indicate an issue, nor does it when you say it'll go for 3 or so days before doing it again.
but hey, while inside the case, blow out any dust build-up.

and has an extra test to rule out the vid card, remove it and use the mobo graphics ports and see if the issue repeats.
