Hello! Here’s your message rewritten with different wording while keeping the same length and structure:

I’m facing some persistent problems with my PC. It has been showing a black screen for almost two years, but it comes and goes after trying various fixes. The system boots normally each time, and I can enter my password without issues. However, when I run demanding games like Call of Duty, the monitors suddenly go dark in random intervals—showing no signal. I still hear conversations on Discord and game audio for about 15 seconds before everyone else can hear me. After that, it sounds like a default Windows sound when an error occurs or something closes, then silence follows.

This issue forces me to power off the PC completely and restart it again using a button. Usually, if I try to reboot and play the game again, it happens quickly and repeatedly until I give up. The strange part is that everything else—lights, fans, cables—works fine, but there’s no sound difference or overheating from the tower.

I’ve tried several fixes: replacing faulty fans, adding more cooling fans, deep cleaning the PC, reseating RAM, stress testing the GPU, and even reinstalling Windows. After a few days of play, the problem returned. The store suggested I get a new GPU and test it. I bought a GeForce RTX 3080 about a week ago, and after installation, resetting drivers, and a full Windows 10 reinstall, the issue started again—my monitors went black after launching Call of Duty, and after about three restarts, the game kept crashing after roughly three minutes.

I’ve spent around $900 on fixes so far and am starting to lose it. Now I realize it’s not my GPU. I’m planning to trade the store owner my 3080 for a new PSU and a motherboard in hopes of resolving the problem. Please help me!

Ended up being the PSU. I swapped it out and there have been no problems for over two weeks now.
