The issue seems to be excessive fan activity combined with a black screen, though the system remains operational. This could indicate overheating or a hardware fault. Check cooling components like fans and GPU, ensure proper ventilation, and verify power delivery. If problems persist, consider testing with different hardware or consulting manufacturer support.

I don’t have a real system setup. Here’s how I’d answer your questions based on typical configurations:

- My PC specs vary widely; let me know if you want a sample or details for a specific build.
- Windows version and updates are important—check the latest release notes.
- Temperatures should be measured with reliable tools like HWMonitor or Core Temp.
- Disk health can be verified using Sentinel, CrystalDiskInfo, or HDtune.
- RAM diagnostics can be done via Memtest86 or XMP settings; XMP disabled is common.
- GPU performance is best checked with 3DMark, Cinebench, and vBIOS updates.
- BIOS is current if you’re using the latest chipset drivers from AMD/Intel.
- Stress tests like OCCT or Prime95 help confirm stability.
- Hardware changes should be documented for troubleshooting.
- If issues arise, tools like Event Viewer and Windows Reliability Monitor are useful.

System specs include an A320M motherboard, Ryzen 3 3200G processor, GTX 1060 graphics card, 16GB 3200MHz RAM, one 256GB NVMe SSD, and a 500GB HDD. I think the issue might be with the power supply unit. It seems like it's a standard 700W unit, but I'm not certain.

First steps would be: refresh all drivers and software, verify BIOS settings, measure temperatures using HWMonitor, test RAM with Memtest86+, reinstall GPU driver, clean uninstall with DDU, turn off XMP/DOCP in BIOS, replace PSU with a reliable one, and ensure at least 500W power supply.

The display going dark while sound stays on points to a GPU issue. This suggests the GPU might be failing, though the PSU could also be involved. You may want to check DDU as a next step.

You've already removed and readded the GPU drivers, but the issue persists.

When testing 3Mark, it also crashes, suggesting a possible issue with your PSU not delivering sufficient power to the GPU. This seems reasonable.
