The screen turns black and the fans kick into high gear.
The display turns off and fans increase speed after 5-15 minutes of gameplay. Temperatures reach a peak of 85 degrees for the graphics card when under full load. The CPU stays around 50 degrees. Benchmark tests show the GPU reaching its limit instead of the CPU. Removing the GPU eliminates the issue. I checked the event viewer but found only warnings about the desktop windows manager and a GFX device warning with GTX 2060. There are also errors indicating the system rebooted without a clean shutdown. I built this setup three years ago, haven’t used it much since, and lack spare parts now. It seems the GPU might be faulty. The specifications are: gigabyte 2060, Intel i5 9600k, 16gb hyper x, 1tb ssd, 650w corsair psu.
650w corsair psu is the specified power rating for this power supply, manufactured by Corsair. The question asks about the unit's model and whether it is three years old. Consider obtaining a spare PSU from someone who has a stable build, ensuring it provides at least 550w to the whole system before attempting installation. Don't forget to note your cooling setup and chassis details when discussing this.
Install ddu uninstaller and reinstall the newest nvidia.com driver
Try using the GPU on another system
Verify Windows integrity
Launch the command prompt with admin privileges and execute DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Perform a clean boot
Use memtest.org USB autoinstaller to check memory (bootable USB)
Inspect the hard drive with its manufacturer’s tool and update firmware if needed
Apply ddu uninstaller to remove the old driver and reinstall the latest graphics driver
Yeah, the PSU is three years old, and it's a Corsair TX650M. The CPU is water cooled with a 240mm radiator. The case is from Phanteks, though I can't recall the exact model. It has an iATX motherboard inside. Space is tight, but there are five fans. It always needed high-speed fans to manage temperatures, but it's been functioning well for three years without any problems.
