//Problem description//
PC gets a blackscreen at random moments, most of the time when I play games. Almost everytime, the HDMI signal will be lost but i'll still be able to hear the sound of the app I was using.
The only way to solve it is for me to restart my computer each time it happens.

//What I tried//
At first, I thought it was my monitor. I bought a new monitor, made no difference.
Then...
The GPU. I replaced it with a RADEON RX480 and got the latest driver. Did not solve it.
My CPU (it was actually overheating reaching 100C often). I bought a new CPU cooler and applied thermal paste. Didn't solve it.
Honestly, I don't know what to blame anymore. PSU ? still Temperatures ?
Shoud I try a memtest86 ?
I'm getting desperate.

+- 80% of the time i'll be able to hear the sound of the app i was using.
+- The image turns completely black with an HDMI logo (probably because it's looking for it).
+- The sound is not looped. I remember that i was on a skype call once and that i could still talk to the person and had to tell her that i had to restart my pc to get rid of the black screen.
+- My previous GPU was a Radeon HD 7950. Instead of losing HDMI signal i had vertical / horizontal stripes all over the screen (because i was using a DVI cable i presume). I could still hear the sound too.
+- I started using my 2nd PCIe slot once i started to have the blackscreen problem.
+- My Monitor can go up to 72FPS, but i'm almost always at 60FPS for every game except one (and i get the black screen across multiple games). On a side note i'll start using 60FPS no matter the game.
+- I played 2 games with my onboard Intel HD Graphics and I didn't get a single blackscreen. I'll keep testing with it a bit more.
