Ok, I have searched the internet for a solution and like an illness, there are many theories for this. Also, if there is a similar thread to this, go ahead and delete this and redirect me to that thread.
Recently, my PC has been behaving strangely. Under graphical load (playing Dota 2), my computer display will go off suddenly. No, it is not my monitor because it says "No display detected". This means that the monitor is still receiving, but nothing is transmitting images anymore. This lead me to my GPU.
Before that, this is my specs:
As far as I know, my GPU is working fine. But this is purely an assumption, because when I am about to tell you will probably make sense.
When do you guys think? I wouldn't mind spending 150 bucks on a new PSU.

Before that, this is my specs:
i7-2600
Asus P8z68-vlx
4x4GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM
Leadtek GTX 580 3GB
Corsair TX750M PSU
120GB Corsair Force SSD
1TB WD Blue
4x 120MM Fans
2x 140MM Fans
As far as I know, my GPU is working fine. But this is purely an assumption, because when I am about to tell you will probably make sense.
- GPU overheating: Little chance having that happen with my 6x cooling fans
- My hypothesis is that when under load, the GPU draws more power from my PSU
- My PSU, unable to cope with the extra load, cuts off power to my GPU, thus resulting in a no display; running cpu situation
- When I'm surfing internet, nothing like that happens.
- Nvidia Driver problem probably isn't this inconsistent (like act up with its under load and don't when its not)
- Not to mention, the power consumption of my 6 Fans, WYSE antique keyboard and a logitech mouse is going to put a load on the PSU
When do you guys think? I wouldn't mind spending 150 bucks on a new PSU.
