Hey this just started to happen a few days ago out of no where i had this pc for a couple months now no problems. When i play any game for like 5 mins the Screen goes black and the sound stays like 2 more seconds after the screen goes out then stops. The numpad key turns off but i cant unstuck it but my mouse and Astro Mixamp stays lit, then i have to Hard reset my pc. I reinstalled windows completely and updated the bios and the problem still persist, so it has to be something maybe The power supply? I cleaned my pc out as well had a little dust didnt help and all my temperatures while gaming are great. So my question is how can i know for sure what is wrong with my pc so i can know which part to buy? btw here are my specs

i5 6400 cpu
R9 390 8gb
8gb Ram
600 Evga Power Supply
Asus h110-Plus motherboard
 
Solution
I found a temporary Solution in the mean time until i buy a New Card not amd this time. Seems the problem is the card because now its working perfect when gaming no more black screens. Underclock is the only solution with this card so i loose like 10 fps maybe, it runs good enough for me to game. This is the video i found the fix from incase anybody that sees this has the same problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu895mdNsyE

Used msi afterburner and right before black screen Gpu temp was 82 and Cpu was around 50 Celsius. This was while playing Ark Survial Evolved for around 5 mins.

Your GPU temps are much too high. It should hit 80 at most, under stress test. For a game, it should be 60-70C. Your case might not have good air-flow.

I just did another Test but now with Balanced Power Mode using Msi afterburner. Now my game black screened after 10 Minutes not 5 and the temps were 67 Celsius for the Gpu and the Cpu was around 50 Celsius.

Well i just installed my New Power Supply Thermaltake Smart M 650W 80+ Bronze, and It still black screens at 10 minutes while playing Ark. The Temps were great on High performance Gpu was at 62 Celsius and My Cpu was at 48. Any idea what else it can be? Maybe Ram or motherboard at this point right?
