Hi, I see you're dealing with a hardware concern. It sounds like the issue started a few days ago and now occurs roughly once an hour during gameplay. You've already tried several fixes: stress testing, thermal paste changes, dust cleaning, RAM replacement, battery swap, HDMI cable change, DDU test, and even using an older NVIDIA version. Given your PC is prebuilt about 5 years ago with an Intel or i5 CPU and a 500W PSU, it's possible the problem lies in the GPU or motherboard. Let me know if you'd like more targeted advice!

When playing a game, you see a black screen, yet FurMark doesn’t. This seems odd. Does FurMark run in full-screen? If the games use windowed mode, does it affect them? Are these issues consistent across all titles?
