GPU randomly making screen go black?

Guys, I'm facing the very same issue from de first message. I have recently changed my PSU to a Corsair 550W from a 300w cheap one (that, I think, was faulty). And also changed my MB to a MSI B250m from a cheap H110m.

I have a PNY 1050ti, and when I use my integrated video card (of i5 7400) it works very very well.

Sometimes, with 1050ti, I can use for days, play a lot of games. But, other times, I can't use for even few minutes.

I am using Windows 10 here, but, for study, I use linux in my notebook. So, I have tested in a Live CD and the issue came up, sudden black screen.

Can someone help me? I really have to solve this in a cheap way.

Configs:
MSI b250m pro-vh
PNY 1050ti
ADATA/HyperX 16gb ram 2400MHz
i5 7400
Corsair CX550
hey, i've been going through the same problem but i managed to fix my issue.
i used msi afterburner to slightly underclock my gpu evga rtx 1080.
i lowered the core clock (MHz) to -400 and lowered the memory clock (MHz) -214.
doing that put my gpu at 1620 MHz and my mem at 4788 MHz.
try that and i hope it works for you as it worked for me.

yeah i noticed i replied super late lol. i just posted it just incase there were other people on the net looking for a possible fix if they are going through the same problem.
i literally was all over the net for a fix and finally found something that works for me maybe someone might stumble upon this thread and hopefully they didn't already buy a whole new setup when they could have fixed the problem.
 
I change thermal paste on my gpu Since then when i play games my screen goes black and i need to turn off my pc and turn it on.
I tried almost everything to fix that i have that gpu 2 Months

Did you fix it?
I also got this issue for like 5 days ago and cant still find a solution...
 
I have a similar issue, but it's when I turn on the computer. The screen detects a signal, but there is no picture. In order to get it working again, I have to swap out the HDMI cable (I use a HiSense 50" 4K LCD). The GPU is a Radeon RX 7900XT and I have a fairly generic 850W PSU. Also, the computer freezes, semi-regularly and when I restart the computer, the GPU is not working correctly, and I have to reinstall the drivers.

Now is not the best time to buy a new GPU, but it may be the PSU. Or it may be the TV. It's a headache, for sure.
