Hello kind people!
I need some help. I've tried a few things, but I'm not sure what to do. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to computers. Anyway, here's the problem I'm having.
Over quarantine, I got bored and started a YouTube channel with a computer I built about a year ago. It works perfectly, except for when I try to record my screen, record audio, and play a game all at the same time. When I do this, sometimes my main monitor, the one that is plugged into my graphics card via HDMI will go black for a few seconds, and then come back. My other monitor, which is plugged in with an Analog VGA cable into the same graphics card, stays on. Is this a hardware issue? Is my graphics card, cpu, or power supply not powerful enough? Below, I've listed specs and parts for my computer to maybe try and help.
Secondly, and I know this is a really dumb question, but is there a way that I can get better performance from the computer when I am running all of this? I experience some lag from OBS when I play a taxing game, sometimes even when the game is at its lowest quality. Maybe I just need a better graphics card?
Computer components:
CPU:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700x 3.7 GHz 8- core processor (Cooled by fan that came with it)
Motherboard:
Gigabyte B450 AORUS PRO WIFI (Rev. 1.0) ATX AM4 Motherboard
Ram Sticks:
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200, CMK16GX4M2B3200C16
Memory:
Intel 660p series 1.02 TB M.2- 2280 NVME SSD
SATA3 SSD 500GB Dogfish 2D NAND Solid State Drive 2.5
Power Supply:
Corsair VS 550 W 80+ Ceritified ATX power supply
Graphics Card:
Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX580 graphics card
Monitors:
Acer 24.5" KG251Q bmiix 1920 x 1080 1ms Response Time AMD FREESYNC Technology (through HDMI)
HP 2009m monitor (through VGA)
Thank you so much for your help!
