Unusual blackouts during gameplay occur frequently.
Hey there! I'm facing some serious issues with black screens for the past two weeks. They pop up randomly during gameplay, turning everything black except the power button. Once it's on, I can usually boot up again, but sometimes the mainboard GPU lights up and I have to shut down the PSU. It's getting worse every day. For reference, my setup includes a Rog Strix B450-F motherboard, a Vega 56 graphics card with 8GB RAM, a Ryzen 5600X CPU, 16GB DDR3 at 3600MHz, and a Thermaltake Berlin 650W PSU. I've tried using DDU drivers and reinstalling everything, ran Memtest eight times with no issues, re-seated all components, applied fresh thermal paste, and even updated the BIOS. Despite these efforts, the crashes keep happening—sometimes for hours without a problem. Interestingly, my benchmarks run for long periods without crashing. I'm really struggling to find the cause or fix.
Latest chipset drivers from AMD have been saved. The GPU was repasted and new thermal pads were installed. Temperatures remain stable during operation. Drive health is being monitored via Hard Disk Sentinel.
I made the chipset update but the screen remains black. I reworked the GPU last night, cleaned everything thoroughly, yet it keeps crashing. Temperatures are under 80 on the GPU and below 70 on the CPU. I verified the drive health using the crystal disk mark—it shows no issues.
