GPU turning off while gaming

[Deleted member 177333]

Mate, I tried all of this. I also tried re installing the old gpu drivers. And still the problem occurs. Still my display goes off whenever I play games but other than that, the pc is still on. I also may add that when my display goes off, when i try ko hit numlock button the led lights won't go on or off.
Cable i used is DVI-D single link. My monitor ACER KA220HQ only supports VGA and DVI. I don't have the option to use HDMI.
I also updated my windows (1903)
I also updated my motherboard bios.
Is my power supply a problem?

Only happens when playing games, or in other words when there's a heavy load on the system -

Does the system actually reboot or does the screen just go black? Have you monitored load temperatures of GPU & CPU during gaming? You can use MSI afterburner to do this and log the data.

To me, your symptoms are most likely caused by either insufficient power delivery or an overheating component. It's possible your GPU could be going bad also, but probably less likely than the others.

I used the specs you provided and just put in basic items on a PSU calculator (1 ssd, 1 optical drive) just to see what it recommended and your PSU rating should be fine at 500W (the PSU calculator said you need at least a 450W), but it's possible your unit is just starting to fail. I'm not familiar with Rave brand...is that a good brand, or budget? If you have a spare PSU or a friend who has one you could try out I'd swap that first and then see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, then investigate heat levels.

I think he is suggesting that you start your own thread with your own issues rather than jumping in on already solved issues that may be different to yours.

^^^This^^^

Proper internet and forum etiquette dictates you start your own thread with your own problem instead of hijacking another's thread - especially one that has been dormant for over a year. This does a couple things. (1) It ensures the attention goes to the OP and his problem as he deserves. And (2) by starting your own thread, you get the dedicated attention to your problem you deserve.

While you may have the same CPU and GPU, you have different motherboards, different brand graphics cards, and other significant hardware differences as well.

I'm just asking here

Asking for help is great. That's what TPU is for. Taking over someone else's thread to get help with your own problem, however, if frowned upon.

I believe the Rave line is the budget basement line from Aerocool, they appear to be quite old as the specs list Gen 4 Haswell compatibility and they don't produce them anymore (500W), not sure on the ratings as the closest I could find spec wise is a 600W and it was OK but not good/great.

The OEM of the Rave line is Andyson which is french for 'Avoid like the plague'

Oh I see. Thanks mate. My wrong. I didn't know there's such an act here such as hijacking.

Thanks for your understanding. And note this is pretty much the accepted way everywhere - not just here.

Hello, hopefully someone can help me with my issue. I have been having an issue where my computer's GPU turns off when im playing games, such as CSGO. I cant make it through a match without it happening once. The GPU turns off and flashes white but the rest of the computer stays on. the cpu stays one and spinning, all the fans stay on and spinning, and the mobo stays on and lit up with leds. I have to force restart to get it working again. I was told it was the GPU overheating even though my censers said it wasnt, so i got 3 more 120mm fans. The problem continued... Then i was told it was my GPU failing so i got myself a brand new RX580... The problem continued. Then i was told my PSU is faulty and should upgrade it. Now i have a 850W Rosewill Glacier PSU, and the problem continues... Soon i will have 2 full computers before fixing this problem... I now have a program called HWINFO 64 that suppose to help me understand but i cant find a program that can read the saved documents saying what was what, it just comes out all scribbled and matrix like. The most confusing part to me is if i benchmark my computer with cinebench or furmark or heaven or valley or others that pound both the cpu and gpu at the same time, i cant get it to black screen like when i game.
I shall list my computer specs below and hope someone can help me figure out my issues.

PSU - Rosewill 850w
GPU - MSI RX 580
Ram - 16gig ram (2x8)
MOBO - msi gaming pro
CPU - Ryzen 1200 @3.8 (soon will be a ryzen 5 1600 cause why the hell not)
Fans- 6 120mm (air goes in the front and out the back and top)

Is your card by chance a MSI Armor variant?

I was thinking the same thing!
