Basically I might have dun goofed when buying this, though my problem might be a faulty card as well as all software solutions I tried weren't successful.
My problem is that suddenly, in games that heavily load my graphics card (specifically my VRAM) I will get random black screens, it can be 5 seconds in, 5 mins in, 30 mins in and even 4 hours in.
I have ran FurMark to stress test it already for over 30 minutes and it did not cause any problems, but Furmark barely loads the VRAM. I have tried memtest, prime95 and checked to see if voltages are stable during Furmark testing and they were, no spikes. I have tried litteraly disabling and reinstalling one by one all of my drivers and newer and older versions and nothing is fixing it, so now I'm looking for faulty components.
My card requires a max of 225W, which according what I saw would also mean around 225/12 = 18.7 - 18.8 Amps on its rail.
Do the Straight Power 10 rails share load? Cause it's got 4 different +12V rails that state 18, 18, 20, 20 on each one and a total of 48 Amps beneath those.
I worry it might be the fact that I have it connected to a 18 Amp rail instead of the 20 Amp, but wouldn't loss of power cause consistent black screens or complete shut downs? This is a very high quality PSU so I gotta be sure what I'm looking for.
