Hello, hopefully you all have an amazing weekend. This month I had bought a new GPU for my system (AMD Radexn RX 6650 XT) and it's working great, I love it. Now, when I am afk from my pc, for about 20 minutes, the screen goes black (pc is still on). I realized that when I return, even if I move my mouse, press stuff on my keyboard, the screen never comes back. I also try removing the hdmi and plugging it back in. I am pretty sure the computer is still working, because I can hear windows sounds and - for example - when I move my mouse to disable screensaving, I can hear my pc revving up a bit, so it understands what I am trying to do. The solution to this is to restart my pc using the restart button. Obviously I have uninstalled previous drivers, installed the latest ones from AMD etc. What else can I do? If it's an error somewhere, perhaps I can find a log somewhere about it? Lastly, I also tried changing the behaviour to going to sleep after 20 minutes of being away, and the same is happening after returning from sleep mode (pc turns on and screen is always black). PC specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 GPU: AMD Radexn RX 6650 XT RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 Primary disk: Kingston NVme SSD 1TB

Checked the GPU you were using earlier. Consider reinstalling the driver by using DDU, then downloading and installing the newest one from AMD.

Consider trying another model, such as the RX-480, and let me know if you'd like further options.
