Hi there I recently did my first PC build. First 2 months I had no problem but then came to find my computer was black screened but mouse was working. Restarting fixed the problem but then every 2-3 days the computer would randomly do the same thing over and over.

After catching it sooner what happens it looks like is all service host programs memory shoot up super high and memory is running at 99% until you click somewhere then it says display driver failed to start and the computer blacks out but mouse still works. I have done every system update and driver update possible everything in that department seems to be working fine and I am not sure what started to cause this.

SPECS:
GIGABYTE B450M DS3H
AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Processor
Corsair Semi-Modular ATX CX450M
Crucial MX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD
Corsair CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 X 8GB) DDR4 3200
NVIDIA GTX 1060 6gb graphic card
Windows 10

Sorry for the crappy pictures I took them with my cell phone

Check that all of the cables to and from the modular PSU to your hardware are all securely connected.

Those pictures are of no use I`m afraid as we cannot see anything, do the following for us and we will come back to getting better screenshots should we need them.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.
 
Ive seen svchost go through the roof when windows does auto updates.
Check them manually and see if there are any.
Also wouldn’t hurt to do a full malware scan to make sure all of them are legit.
 
Fingers crossed for you that the issue is resolved (y)

We will leave your thread open for a few days yet just in case you need to post back, can I ask that when you get a chance that you post an updated Speccy url for us, this will allow us to check certain things that were going on in the previous Speccy urls.
