Check if your Gigabyte 2080 Super is experiencing issues.
Well...quick (sad) update! I'm still searching around for an HDMI cord, but I did find a brand-new DP cord, plugged it in...thought everything was going great--and then not 30 seconds ago, got the same 'no-signal' crash in a very much not-intensive game. More and more, I'm starting to think maybe the issue is with my PSU. For some reason, I keep feeling like this is some kind of weird voltage thing that is going on, because the case fans are ramping up like mad, the instant it happens. In addition, all RGB elements in the computer seem to blind/shut-off, when this happens, almost like something is shorting out? Dunno. I see expensive hardware replacement in my future...sigh. Just have to determine in it's going to be a PSU/GPU (both..? Cry). EDIT - added a vid showing immediately after the crash, with case fans suddenly maxing out, and no signal on monitor.

Actually... yes! I have been having to do a hard-reset (mash the power button) to reboot the PC however, due to having no video output. So maybe that is what's causing these errors? The above ones are just from today alone. EDIT - Now I'm seeing a LongPowerButtonPressDetected false ...so maybe my theory about mashing the power button to restart being the cause of these errors is wrong...? Perhaps this is a power supply issue after all?
It's frustrating... The fans seem to be getting agitated when the motherboard temperature sensors fail. The fans typically draw power from the 12V rail on the power supply, and most RGB setups now use the 5V rail unless you're using the older 12V ARGB headers. It's tough to pinpoint exactly which component is the issue—motherboard, PSU, or graphics card. Without having replacement parts to test, it's hard to say for sure. The cheapest option to try would be swapping out the power supply.
