Hello. I'm gonna first explain what happened. Yesterday I was playing Cities - Skylines, the PC was running fine but out of the blue my display turned off. I was still hearing the game running in background but after a while I heard the sound started to freeze because it was repeating over and over again. I restarted the PC and everything became normal, even the display tuned back on. Then the same thing happened again with the same game so I decided to run DOOM just to see if it happens again. Strangely nothing happened this time and I was playing DOOM for quite a while. This morning I ran Monstrum and it happened again, several times. So I ran DOOM again to check and apparently the issue occurred right after going to main menu.
I have checked my cpu and gpu temp while running games and they are perfectly normal, yet my display turns off first then PC crashes after few seconds, without any warning. The PC runs fine while not gaming. I have reinstalled my OS and the problem still persists. I'm running Windows 10 64-bit.
Here is my spec -
Mobo: Gigabyte H170-Gaming 3
CPU: I5 6500 3.2 GHz
GPU: MSI Nvidia GTX 1060 6 GB Armor Edition
Ram: G-Skill 8 GB single channel running at 2133 MHz
PSU: Coolermaster GX 550w
Monitor: Asus vx229h
It's been only a year since I upgraded my mobo, cpu and ram. I upgraded my GPU only 2 months ago. PSU is the only thing which I have been using for more than 3 years. I have never overclocked my system.
Anybody can help me out here? I really have no clue what might cause this. My friends are saying it's the PSU but I'm still not sure.
Thank you.
