Display turns off unpredictably while cooling systems remain active and occasionally the GPU fan operates at full speed.
Display turns off unpredictably while cooling systems remain active and occasionally the GPU fan operates at full speed.
Hi there. I've faced this challenge since last year, so I'm hoping someone can assist me. Otherwise, it looks like a full PC upgrade might be necessary given how much it disrupts my work. My current setup includes: Windows 10 Home Premium 64 Bit, ASUS Prime B550M-A WIFI II, Ryzen 5 3600 with 2x16GB RAM, G-Skill Flare X 3200Mhz, XMP profile 2.0, Adata XPG SX8200 Pro, 512GB SSD, Zotac Gaming GTX1660 Super, and a 650W Gold fully modular PSU from Tecware Forge M. I first noticed the issue around November last year. After returning the PC to the store I bought it from, they suggested a CPU/motherboard connection problem, so I replaced the motherboard (MSI B450m Bazooka Max Wifi) and got a new one. Everything seemed normal until recently, when it started again after about five months. Now the monitor randomly shuts off—whether during idle tasks, photo/video editing, or even just browsing Chrome. All fans run continuously, and sometimes the GPU fan gets extremely loud. Pressing the reset button sometimes restores stability for hours, but it can fail within minutes. I've also experienced boot failures with a single long beep followed by three short ones. I thought it might relate to memory issues, so I tried using only one RAM stick, but the problem persists. Swapping RAM sticks or changing drivers didn't help. I'm still trying to figure this out and would appreciate any advice or troubleshooting steps. Thanks!
Consider using a different set of RAM to verify the issue. This approach is the best way to confirm if the problem lies with the GPU. I've encountered this situation multiple times in my workshop, and it usually points to the GPU being the culprit. If the same problem persists with another type of RAM, that would be my next step for troubleshooting.
Thank you for your feedback! I'll consider those ideas. In the meantime, I noticed a recent crash dump was created. I attempted to use Perfmon but it stopped after 60 seconds without saving. Additionally, the system had multiple crashes during the data retrieval process. New folder (2).zip
