So I play Minecraft, Battlefield 3, Medal of Honor, League of Legends, and ARMA 2. All of which have there own variation of this problem. League of Legends freezes a second, then completely blacks out for a bit. This happenes periodically throghout the game. Battlefield 3 falls out of full-screen into a window of just white. Medal of Honor does the same thing as Battlefield 3. Minecraft just crashes to the desktop.

I was able to watch the GPU usage when playing League of Legends and saw that when the black screens occur, the GPU usage is off the charts. Other than those jumps it stays pretty constant around 30%. The card isn't ever over 50C degrees.

I've tried updating drivers, lowering the video settings in-game, and re-installing the games.

I hope someone can help me with this issue ><

Hi, that PSU has terrible reviews online, check out this Hardware Secrets review, extra attention to the EXPLOSION section 2 supplies explode past 600W very inferior components.

They are made by HEC/Compucase , I could be wrong but thats where I would start. Do you have a local shop where you can buy a better brand (antec/corsair/seasonic) and if you get the same issue return it. Just make sure you can return the PSU if its not the issue.
