Hi,
I've recently pretty much rebuilt a whole new PC, replacing everything except disks and PSU.
I'm not great at this stuff, I rebuilt it with my dad and it took us a while but we got there.
I have a problem that has started occurring maybe 3 days later, after taking out an M.2 disk because it was the wrong type, where my screen randomly goes black.
The whole thing goes like:
- Screen freezes for about 1.5 seconds
- Screen goes black (most times, sometimes it just freezes on what I was at)
- I can still hear my friends on Discord but they can't hear me.
- If I'm playing a video on YouTube, I can hear it for about 5 seconds then it stops.
This happens fully at random but somehow happens less if I'm playing games. Copy and pasting this in Notepad right now because I just lost the other version I was typing.
It doesn't constantly happen, it happens under no pattern. Can happen not at all one day and can get bombed with it the next day.
I have tried to:
- Uninstall drivers with DUU
- Reinstall Windows.
- Re-seat GPU and RAM
- Reset BIOS.
- Turn down GPU core and memory clock
- Increase fan speed
SPECS:
CPU Intel Core i5-14400F
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
Motherboard MSI Pro B760-P DDR4 II
Memory CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 16GB DDR4 3600MHZ (2x)
SSD Micron_1100_MTFDDAK256TBN (256 GB, SATA-III)
HDD ST1000DM010-2EP102 (1 TB, 7200 RPM, SATA-III)
PSU Corsair 450w (don't know the specifics but its almost 5 years old)
My guess is the PSU but I don't want to go spending money for no reason.
Edit:
Only restarting fixes it. The monitors either freeze or lose signal (what I mean by black screen).
