Problem with PC: RX 6650 XT leading to black screen.
I ran Memtest86 without any issues. OCCT and FurMark also confirmed stability. However, when my graphics card hit a hotspot of 94°C, the screen went dark. Surprisingly, the same card worked fine in my friend's setup, even handling higher temps without problems. I added a GTX 1660 to my system; it handled the heat well and didn’t cause any issues. Hard Disk Sentinel reports my SSD is 100% functional with 65% health, which is considered Fair.
65% health isn't ideal. Consider swapping it and using it as a backup after a secure wipe. Have you tried removing the GPU drivers, using Display Driver Uninstaller to clear remnants, and reinstalling them?
Have you checked if lowering the GPU and VRAM speeds helped improve performance?
I saved the Kingston Manager and looked for any issues or updates related to my SSD. No problems were detected, and no updates were found. I also adjusted the GPU and VRAM speeds, as well as performed GPU undervolting, but those attempts didn’t improve the situation. Replacing the motherboard might be worth considering if you’re still experiencing problems, though it could be a significant investment.
