Hello, I've been experiencing some problems with my computer lately. Over the past few months it's been acting up intermittently, so I didn't bother to investigate until now. When I attempt to launch certain games, the monitors seem to shut down abruptly, even though I can still hear audio from my headset or Discord calls. Turning off both screens doesn't resolve the issue. The only solution is a full restart, which brings me back to normal operation until I try relaunching specific titles again. I've ensured all updates are current—Windows, AMD Radeon, game versions, etc.—and checked for corrupted files. What's unusual is that it only happens with particular games; about a month ago it affected MultiVersus, but after a patch on the first day it stopped working and then functioned properly. Recently, it's been occurring with Gundam Evolutions. I can play the game without issues, but once the tutorial begins, the shutdown occurs. I've tried various titles—League of Legends, Cyberpunk, Elden Ring—and none have triggered this behavior, regardless of window mode or full-screen. This suggests the problem might be tied to those specific games. Any advice would be appreciated. Also, here are my system specs for reference: CPU – AMD Radeon 7 2700X; GPU – AMD Radeon RX 480; 8GB RAM from MSI; 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro (4x4GB); 500W PSU; Motherboard – MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX II; 1TB HD, 4TB HD storage.
