Hello everyone.
I’ve started to notice something odd yesterday (6-29-24). My PC began shutting off my monitors and then stopped responding except for audio, making it impossible to access Task Manager. Temperatures have been normal so far, and I recently upgraded my system. It’s been going smoothly until these last few days, but I’m wondering if the power supply might be the issue. I haven’t overclocked my CPU or GPU, and I’ve been mostly browsing or gaming. My monitors would sometimes go black during gameplay but come back on, yet remain off while I hear the game audio. When I turn the PC on and off, it works fine until a sudden crash occurs. I haven’t upgraded my PSU recently, so I just want to find out what’s causing this problem. Thanks.
