I hope this format is okay im not sure anymore how i structured my last Post. Specs:

Speccy : http://speccy.piriform.com/results/OmWMc6pLEu5PDtK5flusn1c


RAM: GSkill Aegis DDR4 16GB (2 of these)
Mainboard: Gigabyte A320M-S2H V2
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7
GPU: Nvidea Geforce GTX 3060
PSU: RM550x v2 550W

I think that covers it. If you'll need anything else please hook me up.


This Problem started a week ago when i came back from my vacation. I turned my pc on like I do it all the time but now any game I play (doesn't matter which one, tried different ones) after seemingly random time points (but most of the time after around 7 min sometimes 40 ) my screen turns black, reading signal lost. Accompanied by a windows disconnect sound (Ingame sound keeps going, Discord gets disconnected), afterwards the screen just stays black. I don't know where this Problem comes from since i just binge played BaldursGate3 before i went on vacation, and i didn't change a thing on my pc in the meantime. I did check that my GPU fans stop spinning after this happens. I had a similar problem once, where my PSU just was to weak so i thought that i maybe have the same Problem again although i wouldn't know why it worked before then (this was made apparent to my by this forum as well, I was told to try the PSU i use now and it worked afterwards)? And since i really have no idea about all of this to that degree i hoped maybe someone here might be able to help me and tell me what i could do. Naturally GPU is updated and i took it out and back in again already, Problem still is apparent.
Thanks for reading my TED talk.
Also I hope this even is the right Thread
 
Helpers should refer back to the OPs previous thread and in particular my reply #8 here

An appropriate PSU has been swapped in and a second stick of RAM added, problem is that the RAM is not the same spec.

Bad Windows and system driver installation have not been corrected and bad power plan settings are still present.
