Hey guys,
I have a system with the following specs:
i7-4790k with all cores at 4.5GHz
Msi Gtx 970 with occasional OC
MSI Gaming 5 MoBo
2 SSDs, 3 HDDs, 7 Fans(including these as I am uncertain if they have a significant impact on the systems power usage or not)
Cooler Master G750M, 750W PSU Bronze.
My problem is the following: Whenever someone turns on the Hi-Fi system in the room where my PC is, suddenly the monitor goes black for a good 2+ seconds. I tried it with a different monitor, still the same thing happens. If the GPU is OCd then it seems to happen more often, and it can be triggered easier as well. For example, by turning on other appliances in the apartment or switching the lights in the living room on and off repeatedly. When the above mentioned black screen happens, neither the card or its driver crashes and there isn't a noticeable drop on the graphs from MSI Afterburner. However, it doesn't feel good to experience this and I am unsure if it does any good for the hardware itself.
By observing the above described behavior, I came to the conclusion that it might be due to the not so stable electrical grid in the house and that my current PSU might not be the best choice.
My question is: Is there anything I can do to make it more stable from my side, especially regarding the PSU? If yes, what kind of PSU would you recommend for this system, taking into consideration that I might be upgrading the GPU to a 1080 in 2017.
