Recently whenever I have been running any game on Steam or on other services such as Glyph my screen will go black for about 4 seconds and then return to normal. This does not start until around 10 minutes of running the program and happens every few minutes while playing. Ultimately this leads to either a crash of the program or a blue screen.

I have tried running clean boot and updating to different versions of drivers but the problem persists. Also the temperature of my card is fine while playing even when close to the crash.

I am running with:

Radeon 7850 with 2 gigs

16 gigs of ram

Intel i5-2400
