My computer displays a black screen or no signal while playing games or sometimes during other activities. I've tried numerous solutions but nothing resolved the issue. I thought you might be able to assist me here. My system specs are: CPUI:AMD FX™-8350, 8-core processor at 4.00 GHz, GTX 1050ti GPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD, MBU: gigabyte 970a-ds3p, AMD 970 PSU, cooler master rs-600, AM4 M4 chassis.

It seems like things might be getting too hot, do you have a cooler available?

That is an old CPU, which is fine. But if it has been working all that time, it might be time for a new bit of thermal compound. And that way you can prevent happening what @Sir.Spaceman said. As thats very likely.

So I'm going to presumed that you have had this system for some time. If it has been running fine until recently, then it is likely to be something changed. First step is to remount the cooler with new thermal compound, also reseat the RAM, GPU, and power cables. You would be surprised how often just doing those can fix a range of issues. I do want to advise updating your hardware when/if it is possible, I don't know where you live, but here in my town you can get more modern systems for like 20 quid, an old workstation or prebuilt with anything from 4th gen to 6th gen, spend like 50 quid and you can even get a 7th gen systems.

I don’t understand the distractions while gaming, but I picked it up from Counter Strike 2 and Rainbow Six Siege. My MSI afterburner works fine, and the temperatures stay normal.

Update the status to reflect ongoing issues after each attempt. Share observations about the black screen behavior, including audio cues and power cycling. Mention uncertainty regarding unplugged cables and their impact on performance. Include the provided video link for reference.

You just tried Minecraft with shaders, and it worked because of top-notch performance. Probably just some high-level optimization tricks at play.
