Whenever I enter a game such as Watch Dogs 2, my PC sometimes becomes extremely loud and then the screen shows "no signal". However, the fans are still running and the PC remains powered on. This issue occurs consistently in the same areas of the game and also when playing other games like Minecraft 1.16 with shaders. It causes the system to shut down after a short time, even though I lowered the settings. While trying to fix it, I replaced my CPU cooler, checked temperatures using MSI Afterburner, and found that my GPU was at 56°C and CPU at 70°C before shutdown. Now it starts shutting down again on Rocket League. Recently, I set the FPS limit to 200 as a joke and immediately got "no signal". Now, when I lower it back to 62, it still goes to "no signal", and now it happens even at 60 or 62. I’m not sure what to do and need help.

Try adjusting your boostclock in Aurora Engine to 1785mhz (stock 1660 super specs). I have the same card, and I think the OC is a bit shaky. It doesn’t really boost frame rates. Also, has this been happening all along? I’ve been trying to solve the low FPS problem with the card, and setting it to NVIDIA stock clock specs helped a bit. It would go up to 83 degrees during a game called Atlas, so I had to turn the clock down. Also, make sure your power management in NVDA is set to max performance, set your power goals in the OC tool to 110%, and adjust the fan curve to run at 35% at idle and up to 70% for full speed. See if that makes a difference.

Sorry, I took a long time setting it up. It's a gigabyte frozen Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super OC edition, with an Intel i5 2500K, 8GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM, an 1155 motherboard, CR-1200 CPU cooler, a 550W power supply, and a 1TB hard drive.

obtain a high-quality power supply unit. Avoid the inexpensive alternatives.
