Just recently, when I get into an hour of a game, my monitor will go black and say "No Input", and whatever sound that was playing will hang until forced shutdown. The only thing I've recently changed was getting a new Razer mouse and mousepad. The fans in the system are still running the same when the computer was working, and the lights on the components are still on. I've tried to update GPU drivers, cleaned out system, replugged in wires, etc. to no avail. All parts are less than a year old. There isn't any weird shutdown messages in the Event Viewer.


Please help.

UPDATE (12/22): I got my first blank brown screen, no BSOD, just plain brown screen. I tried switching HDMI cables, didn't work either. Tried to Benchmark and it did the "No Input" thing again. Seems like under heavy load it does it? Someone please help.

UPDATE 2 (12/22): A few months ago I had a problem with my computer Red Screening (No BSOD, no weird events in Even Viewer either). Playing in Windowed mode fixed it. Is this a continuation of this problem?

UPDATE 3 (12/26): Even Minecraft crashes now. Can someone please help?

A 750W gold certified PSU should not cause any trouble with your set up. Do you have another older pc or someone can borrow a pc for you to test the gpu in other computer?
Maybe what you need is a clear install of all drivers.

Warframe and Total War Rome II are the only games I've played this week.
Not at the same time, it's been from two hours to just 30 minutes when it went to black.
Monitor is Insignia NS-RC6NA-14 1360x768 60hz, but I play the games windowed.

Uhmmm for what i recall from previous experiences dealing with this kind of things it looks like a voltage problem...
Download MSI after burner and force constant voltage +0 and restore the OC to factory settings to not deal much with it... Keep in mind that you might have MSI after burner window minimized or open to over ride the presets of your GPU...
Hope this solve your issue...

Unfortunately, this didn't help. Still going to black with Afterburner minimized or having it open + having it set at constant voltage at factory settings.

Any other ideas?

EDIT: Would getting a better PSU (such as this one) fix the issue? Is it because I don't have enough power for all my components?

The afterburner still isn't working, but now I can't even get into a game in the first place. As soon as I launch the game, it does the "No Input" thing like how it's always done before the game even fully loads.

Would getting a new PSU fix this issue? Or is it another one of my components that is screwing up?

I did a total reset of my PC and that seemed to fix the issue. Thanks!
